 No setup capabilities, etc September 4, 2008
John Stonestreet (NC, USA)
There is no setup capabilities for problem solving or error correction. The pieces are a trifle small for my tastes. The bishop, queen and rook pieces are too similar, especially the bishop which has a flat top, in my opinion it should be pointed, queen is second worse, rook is actually not to bad.Saitek CH03 Travel Chess Computer Game w/ 64 Playing Levels & 11 Teach Modes
 Can't go wrong July 6, 2008
B. Clark
Having a lot of fun with this. I was a little leary at first about being complicated but after the third game attempt everything clicked. Just read the manual. I'm learning chess so even the mid fun level is wiping the floor with me but I'm learning.
For the cost you can't go wrong and the only con I have found is that I had to use a toothpick sometimes because it seemed the contacts pegs weren't long enough but that is easing up to rare now as things are getting worn in.
A great buy and if you are learning you will get more than your monies worth.
Update:
Sometimes when it makes a move it just brings up checkmate when nothing is even near the king. You have to press new game to get out of it. Having said that I'm still pleased with it.
Good toy February 24, 2008

This game is a good game but it isn't that hard to beat. It seems that it is not rated very high as a chess player. I still enjoy it and I will try different openings to try to get different ideas of playing chess. If you are looking for a stronger game I would not reccommend this game. I would find one that has a chess player rating of 2000 to 2700 yet still play a relatively easy game at the lowest level. You are probably not going to find one like that if you don't play against it prior to purchase and I don't think anyone will give you a trial period. I probably would purchase it for a brand new beginner but probably not for someone who has played chess for a few years. I would not purchase it for a high rated player of 1500-1800.

Nice little handheld computer.
I like the peg pieces because they are less annoying then some of the tiny LCD style screens out there. The cover helps to preserve a position when I want to stop a game in progress and come back to it later.

I think this toy is handy to carry around and at the same time stimulating. It would be best suitable if it is for one player with the other player automatically built in, however i cannot tell that from the available details.
