Yet, it does not look 100% like it; there are several differences. The seller describes the unit as "Nestler-matho 25". Never heard anything like that.

Nestler regards,
Axel

Interesting is also the ebayname of the seller! Perhaps he loves Travel chess computers :wink:

Buy it Axel and let us know which rare unit it is :D
For sure it will be a cheap auction!

Waiting Regards

I have a Nestler-Matho; it is the CXG Star Chess (without "Advanced")

Just compare the number of LED's for "White", "Black", "Check" and so on: The Star Chess/Nestler-Matho has 5, the ASC has 8 of them

Just a short addition: on the sticker on the back of my Nestler-matho is printed:

"Star Chess" and below:
"Nestler-matho 25"
and some more...


best regards,
Robert
