King Performance delivery

Post by Chessnut »

I notice the Millennium website has changed from delivery 13th November to "goods expected soon".
I wonder if anyone in the know has any further information.
Any testers able to say anything about it yet?
Anyone got their hands on one?
Just interested at this stage.

Regards,

Keith

I feel like the delays in the opening of the famous new Berlin airport BER. :)

Hello all,

I am pretty sure we are not going to see them before Christmas ... standard delivery practice / tactic here.

Maybe in a couple of months ?

Low expectations regards,

Interesting that Chess and Bridge are offering the King Performance at £449 down from a “RRP” of £499. Where do they get these prices from?
Approximately £300 including postage from Millennium or other German dealers probably similar from Doska Chess as well.
I remember Chess and Bridge did a similar thing when the Centaur came on the market and had to reduce the price within a couple of weeks.
I look forward to the first customer reviews and will probably purchase in the New Year as long as there are no reliability issues.

It's a nice looking machine. Funny that Chesshouse took photos of boards that are set up randomly. Or is that supposed to demonstrate Fischer 960 support?

UPDATE I see from expanding the display that it is indeed showing 960 support.
Cheers,

Jeff B.
