Sapphire 2 costs around $200 in the USA and will at most be around $300 with the safest and fastest postage anywhere in the world. I do not think any software, how well written it is, cannot make up the difference in hardware between GameBoy and Sapphire 2 which is designed to play chess only. It will definetely have more bells and whistles and may be nice program to get a child into the chess world, but that is all about it. For a tournament player Sapphire 2 is still the top portable model.
