i.e. Staunton style chess pieces, beginner to advanced levels, teach mode, save game,
suggest a move, book openings, chess clock, and a take back the last move function.
Choose a chess computer based on which one is in your price range,
then most physically appealing,

Do you sell chess computers that move
their own chess pieces by themselves?
Is the Phantom or Mirage available?
Both the Phantom and Mirage are out of production.
There aren't any chess computers currently being produced or sold
anywhere in the world that move their own chessmen.
This feature can be made up for in several ways.
First the Phantom and Mirage had talking / voice.
A voice / talking feature makes for a much more entertaining game of chess being that
the chess computer can interact with you on the same level as an actual person.
The other way is purchasing a chess computer that has a light on every square of the chessboard.
By having a light on every square, you can easily locate the chess piece
that the computer wants you to move without having to spend time locating the computer's chess piece.
There are 2 chess computers available that have a light on every square of the chess board.
They are Electronic Glass Chess, Model 775, and Mephisto Talking Chess Academy, Model CT06.
Click here to see all the talking chess computers available.
Click here to view the only chess computer available that has both voice,
and a light on every square - Mephisto Talking Chess Academy, Model CT06.
