I have a GK 2000 and I must say for a basic plastic model I really like it. The
chess engine is as Steve describes above. It has a small board, but the playing
surface picks up your moves really well making it more fun to play than some
other pressure sensory boards, and it has all the features one could ask for,
with the sole exception that it can not resign a game. Why they left that out is
beyond me, but it is otherwise feature rich. Well worth the money it usually
goes for.

Cheers,

Chuck
