If that is the case and you do not want to cart an old style wooden chess board and pieces around with you, then why go hi tech with this computer chess board.
Simply plug into the USB port and set those pieces up.
This is a great piece of kit, because it is tactile and you get to see exactly what is going on in front of you and the player has the choice of player against a real person or the computer.
Features – The software also provides hints during the game and enables you to save pictures of a game in-progress for play-by-e-mail games; it can replay an entire game on your computer’s screen, allowing you to see where you made a fatal move. Three levels of challenge provide tutoring for beginners and challenging scenarios for intermediate players. Requires a PC running Windows XP and a USB port. Ages 12 and up. 10 1/4″ L x 11 1/2″ W x 2 1/4″ H. (1 lb.) Priced at $24.95
