 Revelation System highlights

Processor
    Revelation II Anniversary Edition: Multi Core, 1.0 GHz.
    Fully standalone chess board, equipped with on-board embedded Marvell PXA320 high performance processor to facilitate the on-board chess engines
    The PXA320 is the fastest processor in the well-known PXA/XSCALE series and runs at 800+ MHz. The implementation of this PXA320 has a 32 bit wide data-bus,        and a large CPU cache to ensure that the engines will run at their best performance

Memory
    128MB of DDR SD RAM ensures sufficient memory for large Hash tables
    1 GB Flash Memory giving plenty of storage to upgrade with new chess engines as they become available
    The system is future proof as adding additional Flash Memory and processing/RAM power (by exchanging the current Marvell PXA module) are built in possibilities

Engines
    The system contains three commercial engines at delivery and can be upgraded with more chess engines in the future
    Top performing chess engines included are Hiarcs, Shredder and Komodo.
    Freeware and/or open source engines such as well-known programs Fruit, Toga, Ruffian and Rybka are also included

Elo-levels
    ELO levels can be adjusted to play at your level (depending on engine settings)
    Compared to running the same chess engines on a PC or laptop, Revelation offers unique options and possibilities such as the possibility to turn down the speed of      the on-board processor to play at levels from 1500 ELO and up

Electronic piece recognition
    The chess board is using the great individual piece recognition technology from DGT ensuring that analyzing and setting up chess positions is simply a case of            placing the pieces on the board
    All available electronic DGT chess pieces are compatible with Revelation II: Timeless, Classic, Royal, Venus (no longer available),  Royal and the official FIDE sets;      all sets are supplied with two queens for each color.

Design
    Board size is 57 x 61 cm, square size is 52 x 52 mm and the board thickness is 30 mm
    All focus is upon beauty and passion for the chess game, so despite all on-board electronics, Revelation has a fine wooden chess board of high quality with great        wooden pieces

OLED screen and Led Lights
    A large green LED 256*64 pixels display with double resolution based on the most current LED technology gives detailed information about the current chess game
    The display as well as the LED lights in the board are a gentle and elegant green lighting

Bluetooth and online connection
    Through Bluetooth 2.0 communication with the PC the system can be upgraded with latest available firmware, new chess engines and engine upgrades
    Revelation can function as a regular DGT Bluetooth e-Board offering options such as live broadcasting of games via the internet and online play at chess portals          and websites

Carrying bag
    A custom-made carrying bag is included that holds the complete system ensuring the chess board is well protected and can be transported without risk

Customer Service Beyond Expectation

First of all, the chess set is beautiful. I gave it to my son two Christmases ago and he plays it constantly. He is very proud of it. So...when our dog captured the pawn and chewed it, my son was bummed. I contacted Chess Central and they said that they would work on it. I totally forgot about it and figured I'd never hear back. Today, guess what arrived in the mail? The black pawn! My son actually did a little jig. Thank you, ChessCentral.

This is by far the most impressive chess set I've ever seen!!

Now you have to know up front when buying online I generally look at the three star and lower reviews, so I ordered this set with a lot of skepticism, just sure something was going to be FUBAR,...... Boy was I wrong!! I got the set and carefully un-packed it and was just amazed. It is PERFECT!! Seems that all the every flaw that had been complained about in the three star and less reviews had been addressed by the manufacturer!! So being eager to show it off and being a good ole boy, I invite my buddies over and we all set out on the porch {now that the weather is finally getting nice out} and play from noon until sunset. I enjoy all the compliments this beautiful the set gets, and everyone loves to play on it!!

I've shopped at ChessCentral three times now, and twice I've had questions about a particular product. I don't know much about chess software. Anyway, I was shocked to receive detailed answers later that same day! I mean, who does that? Shipping was fast and well packaged. All in all, a great chess website.
