Mephisto Expert Travel Chess Computer features a slim, smooth design that seems to fit anywhere. 1/2 inch tall peg style plastic pieces lightly snug into each square without the loose wobbly feel of some peg chess sets. The pieces stay in place and can be stored on the chessboard even with the latching lid closed. Captured pieces are placed in holes next to the chess board. Clear LCD display and easy to understand button interface as well as a compact, practical design and extensive levels place this computer at the top among portable chess computers. Beginner levels all retrict the computer's search depth in different ways, resulting in weaker play and giving you the chance to learn more about the game and perhaps beat the computer occasionally. Normal, Training, or Tournament Levels are perfect for the intermediate to advanced player. Normal Levels range from easy all the way up to a difficult 10-minute response time, and the Tournament Levels are extremely challenging. And don't forget to try the Blitz Levels for some fast and exciting games of Speed Chess. By the way, for Tournament and Blitz Games, you can activate the built-in Bronstein Clock. Want to experiment? Use the Mate Search Levels to solve problems up to mate in eight - try searching from a position in one of your own games, or set up an actual mate problem. Choose the Infinite Level to have the computer analyze complicated positions for hours or even days!
