Me and the KingI

Excellent Computer Chess Board

It is exactly what I expected. The board looks very thin and I like that. The quality of the construction and the quality of the parts are very good. The menu is pretty user friendly, but I recommend downloading the manuals and reading them. The process of doing update is very simple, but it is necessary to read the manual. The only thing that I don't like and took me by surprise is that those of us who live outside Europe can't register on the Millenium website to receive the latest notifications.

Chess House could produce a future World Chess Champion

The High School where Millennium King Competition would act as an instructor could produce a World Chess Champion. I am justifiably optimistic for the High School's Chess Club. This computer not only competes at different levels. Lets be realistic, a H.S. student is unlikely playing chess at International Master or Grand Master strength. That is why this computer offers various levels. It can study puzzles or positions.
Mate with K-N-B vs K. Mate with K-2B vs. K-N. Mate with K-R vs. K...
The bottom line is kids are developing their logic. Thanks Chess House.

I bought the Millennium Chess Computer - The King Competition for my husband. He is more than happy with it. It is well made, easy to see and he likes the size of the pieces. I recommend this for yourself, or a gift for the chess lover in your life!
