Thanks Larry; I actually bought a second non-functioning Brikette as well just so I could see how to open it. Unluckily, however, it has screws. I would have loved to double check with the old one I had, but it is already in Shanghai. So - unless I am mistaken - there are 2 brikette versions; one wi...

So apparently during packing the Chess Champion Super System 3 broke somewhere in the middle...goddamn patzer ebay seller...although I do have this inkling feeling that the very same computer will show up in a week under a different ebay name, and if someone wins the bidding at around 10 euro do exp...

Hey Steve, glad to hear regarding the savant. The Mattel unfortunatley did not work; I tried what you said to try and got 2 different king positions (at least this time it was a single king). I'm also gonna give it to my brother so he could go medieval on its lcd screen. Final purchase for a while I...

Thanks Steve, the CC7 i got is in a nice black case, and like in mint condition (pieces in their original unopened baggies) - I think I'll take it just in case. I did keep the GK2000 box; thanks for the advice regarding packaging. Savant will arrive shortly, and I will test it out - if it's not work...

Hello, I am forced to part with some original cartons as my chess computers do not fit into my bags. Specifically, I want to throw out the Kasparov GK 2000 box as it's pretty large and cumbersome. Should I? How important are original cartons when it comes to the collectability of chess computers? Se...

Hello to all, so I recently bought a brickette for super cheap, and it works well, it seems, except for 1 number pad button which gets no output when it's pressed. I wanted to open the thing up and perhaps fix whatever needs fixing, but I ran into a problem: There are no screws, and it seems it's he...

I also just got a turbo 16k. Waiting for it to arrive.

Apparently I have a split personality. I did not know my other name is Ivengo, and that I live in Russia.

This guy needs better marketing skills. He sent me 3 private messages after my reply, each of which is like this: HIM 1) Hello you ! Criticism is easy, but art is difficult ... Show us what you have already done of your life REPLY - my reply was "you make me laugh" HIM 2) this is what I th...

Yes, well, if you want a more complicated game that is not classical chess, just play go (baduk).
