Fidelity Challenger book openings CB16

I thought it worthy of mention, since you may miss it on a quick search.
Not a lot of these things around, and the shipping will be cheap, wherever
you are. If you are outside Germany you may have to contact the seller.
I've got one, and they are a good addition to the trusty Fidelity SC9, also
to the Fidelity '12' (I think). It replaces the current book openings, rather
than add to them, giving a much wider repertoire and therefore a more
enjoyable game.
have a nice day all...

well at least this guy will consider shipping worldwide
now the seller of that EAG V5 on Ebay will not ship anywhere and you have to go to his house in Switzerland with a hand truck to pick it up
you know ...there are just a few computers i would actually consider making a trip across the pond to fetch
the V5 is one of them

Checking Air Miles Regards

This seller would not even accept questions from outside the US, so I
couldnt even ask for an exemption:

It looked like a good one, too.

Hi Jose, I just looked on the chart supplied with my Fidelity Elegance
and it says this CB16 module is available for:
Prestige (but requiring special plastic adaptor)
Elite
Elegance
Sensory 12
Sensory 9
Is "Elite" and "Avant Garde" the same thing? Please excuse
my ignorance, since I own neither.
For the record, the original selling price for the CB16 module
was US $120... this is no doubt why they are hard to come by,
not many enthusiastic enough to pay that much.
The CB9 module sold for US$78, but it was not as good, had
a repertoire deeper but not as wide.
hope this helps,
all the best...Larry

Ten bids and 212 Euro!.... the seller is off to the local bar, laughing his
head off and buying drinks all round
