Phantom Force Chess ComputerExcalibur Phantom Force chess computer is the newest technology in chess
computers, it is simply incredible. The most remarkable feature is that the
chess computer moves it's own chess pieces itself!!! The first time I heard of
it I thought the person telling me about it was jerking my leg, and my first
question I put to him was "so if I want to open with a knight then how will
the computer handle that?" he promptly responded with the answer, "the
computer just moves the pawn in front of the knight and out he comes!". But
I never let it rest, I went out and found more information on the Excalibur
Phantom Force and what I found gave me drop jaw syndrome!The Excalibur
Phantom Force is a talking chess computer with 3 languages! English, French, and
Spanish. Excalibur Phantom Force also comes with everything that you can get
with the older chess computers like coach modes, it will rate your games you
play against it, a built in chess clock and so on. And folks this is a full size
chess computer, it's the real McCoy! One of the coolest features, but perhaps
worthless for advanced players is you can pitt the computer against itself, and
you can just sit back and watch the computer play itself! This could be really
useful for beginners to just watch and pick up solid playing style just by
watching, I have yet to see though. For technological advancement the Excalibur
Phantom Force computer completely puts to shame all of the portable chess
computers that are available now! just take a look at the official list of
