Chess Explorer Pro - RECOMMENDED	June 3, 2008
Reviewer: gmck from Cedar Park, TX United States

* Its "all plastic" construction is pretty good. The plastic side doors are the only weakness with the rest of the board, pieces, and buttons being reliable and reassuring.

* The sound can be switched off making silent play possible. Note: The coach cannot play silent.

* The pieces are decent, magnetized and felted, they play well on the "push sensor" board and feel like a set of double weighted pieces. The push to move is very intuitive and not a distraction.

* The in-built sliding storage bins either side of the board are handy.

* I bought the "Init Notebook Sleeve NT-NB127" from BestBuy. I am able to store and play without removing it from the bag.

* The computer interface is very logical and I have no problems playing, setting up, verifying, or changing game options.

The game play is natural and appears to play positionally and tactically with an even hand. The interface is good and I really like playing over the board instead of an LCD screen.
