Best Uses

    Comments about Chess Station:

    At lower levels I found the chess engine resorted to playing the castle H8 to G8 to I8 back and forth for dozens of turns. This made for a very boring game at lower levels and if used by a new chess student could turn them off to the game.
    At higher levels the engine plays very well.
    When using the hand held unit only, it's diffouclt to see the white pieces as they blend too much into the background. It's a fine game when hooked up to the board.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
