I wonder if the Spracklen are still alive, to begin with...but then we have Kittinger. Or Ed. Or Nelson, why not.

But...

They will give us again Lang

These guys at Millenium are trying to get the most of what they already have, an agreement with Richard, BUT they forget the kind of people collectors are. I do not know any sane collector just collecting the same stuff. Well, perhaps Blincoe is the exception as much he have half a dozen item of almost every computer ever produced.
They in Millenium should try to give us the last engine the Spracklen created. Or a new Scorpio in steroids...
But no...

Is anyone aware of any chess stores in the USA that are planning on selling the Millennium ChessGenius Exclusive chess computer when it becomes available in March?

Good God....how many new incarnation of the same stuff Millenium have in store?
Let me guess:
Genius Exclusive, Genius Royal, genius Excellence, genius Enhanced, genius Centennial, genius Gold, Genius Platinum, genius on Steroids, Genius Forever and then the cheaper series with genius Popular, genius For all, genius mobile, genius for kids, etc...

Never more genius regards

Yep I always fancied a chess computer called The Excelsior after the walking stick in the Grim Fandango video game and the chess poem. So far as I know one hasn t been made so there is a gap in the market there!

In that case you must write to Millenium for them to fix this problem. I am asking a Jack Daniels Genius by now.
