This is a roll up chess board that plugs into the USB port of a laptop to allow the user a quick chess game against the computer or a human opponent; it is highly portable as the board rolls up small, although you are then left with the pieces etc.
But this more than just computer chess game, it is pretty sophisticated piece of kit as the software memorizes all of the moves and can even offer advice to the user. However, what makes this a great deal is the price!
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. Size 10 1/4″ L x 11 1/2″ W x 2 1/4″ H. Weight 1 lb
