NEW Excalibur Phantom Force Chess Computer

Excalibur 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 features.

So this is the long-awaited successor to the Mirage?

The Mirage had quality issues IIRC.

The Phantom name used to be owned by Fidelity Electronics and Milton Bradley, but I guess Excalibur bought the rights to it.

Nice history pages (not mine):

Phantom
Fidelity Phantom 6100
Phantom 6126 Chesster
Excalibur Mirage

I just received my Phantom Force Chess Set. It tells me to turn the ON/OFF switch off before installing batteries. Which is OFF the solid red cicle or the black circle with a red cicumference?
