Re: Millennium ChessGenius Software Update
Today I received an email from Millennium that announced a software update for the Chess Genius Exclusive. The update allows users to make adjustments to the Exclusive board's LEDs.

Hi Greg Im glad you've picked up on this topic. It sounds like you are going to go into it a lot more deeply than i would and look forward with interest to your findings.

My star diamond has problems with A square. And the chances to get this repaired are very very small. Better buy older wooden machines, Have you tried the famous hairdryer trick to get it going again? with a bit of massage on the failed squares? This has worked for me on other machines...pushing do...

I have never known my elo....only ever played for my own personal pleasure. If im feeling awake and positive and have enthusiasm .....
