New manuals

Post by Alain »

Hi,

as I don't always update the RSS feed of my website, I'll post in this thread user manual additions. This will also allow me to thanks the sender as most of time now, I publish manuals sent to me by other fellow collectors (I still have a few novag manuals on my todo list).

Added today:

Novag Aquamarine RISC II 26.6 MHz‏ (NL)
Chess Wizard IQ V (= Novag Zircon II) (NL)

both manuals sent by Paul Wiselius.

thanks,
Alain

My site hosting service has changed some rules and I need to migrate my web site => it's possible that manuals will be unailable for a few hours / days in the next couple of weeks.
However, no manual will be lost and links should remain valid as well.

Thanks,
Alain

Hi Fern,

The Centurion is a GK 2100 clone, just past the 2000 elo.

And you really do not want to know about the Atlas, which is the worst design I have ever seen. Very weak, and has pieces without magnets, so if you accidentally move the board, they shuffle all around. So I feel ashamed for the manufacturer who came up with this kind of trash...:-(

Regards, Paul
