DGT Tournament Set!
OOOoooooo baby! I just received my DGT Tournament Set (Rosewood USB board, Ebonized Professional Chessmen, DGT XL clock, black case) from the House of Staunton. The software loaded seamlessly with Windows XP, and I promptly lost a game to Fritz 10, who announced his moves in English from my dual core Dell Inspiron e1705 laptop. The pieces are feather light--almost like balsam wood, but the computer picks up the moves as soon as you can make them. If you make a mistake or overlook a check, Fritz will tell you emotionlessly to put your piece back to its original spot. I'll take the set to the Naval Postgraduate School Chess Club today to hook it up to a smart board and let the laptop record the moves. Ah, the wonders of digital electronics.

We are---a small world indeed.
Very very cool. I really want to get one, but it sets one back a pretty wad of money. Ahh, maybe next year. They are supposed to be coming out with a wireless (Blue Tooth) version in the next year.
