Subject: Kasparov Corona & Conchess Dedicated Machines

For a long time my Kasparov Corona Chess Computer refused to register some of
the moves I played, and I assumed that it was something to do with the reed
switches underneath each square, even trying to de-magnitise them, but to no
avail.

A couple of years later, after purchasing my Mephisto Magellen I tried playing a
game on the Corona, using my Magellan pieces. Perfect !! It turns out that the
magnets in the original supplied pieces were not strong enough, or had become
de-magnetised.

This also fixed an old Conchess board with the same problem. :)

Hope this helps anyone else in a similar fix...

Regards

Trefor.
