Thank you Steve for the info. I didn't know that GK2100 has been discontinued.
It still is being offered in a few websites. Do you know whether I can play both
as black or white on Cougar and Grandmaster.

And any idea regarding reliability of the two? Since I am not a very good
player, strength is not a key factor I am looking for. I am biased towards
Grandmaster (Because of the size) but someone told me that the hardware is not
very good.

Lal.
