Computer Chess Games June 25th, 2011
Welcome to the chess board games blog. We spend a lot of time talking about good chess around here: that is, chess strategies, chess tutorial offerings, and the like. But being fans of the game, we also veer into the less practical aspects. So if you're looking for a unique, quirky, or memorable chess set, we frequently highlight chess sets that are worth a look see. Whether you're looking to buy chess pieces or boards, you might see something you like.
Phantom Force Computerized Chess. This video shows the first three minutes of the unit playing both sides of a game. Sound effects are active.

How can you have “uninterrupted concentration” with that racket going. I’ll stick to moving the computer’s pieces any day.

I just bought one. It’s pretty cool except that the pieces don’t always set up nicely in their squares.

It’s true that the transport is annoyingly slow when the game does a reset of any sort, like setting the pieces up for a new game or for a practice game. If those resets can’t be avoided by doing them manually, than yes, that’s a problem. It’s still the most awesome chess game available.

It’s not slow at all. During normal game play the pieces move with a delay that does not register as annoying. Yes it’s noisy, but not so much that my family complains. It sounds like a dremel grinding tool on low speed. I don’t find the noise bothersome at all. The speed of the transport is fine during normal gameplay. On higher skill levels the speed of the computer thinking may become a problem…that’s often a problem with computer chess. Of course, I take a long time to think as well.

It’s awesome. Brand new it works fine. I’ve only had it for a few weeks. Expect this to be a delicate machine that won’t work forever. Any abuse and it will die, that’s only to be expected. It really feels like playing an opponent. Compared to punching your moves in via a kbd and reading a display and moving the pieces for the computer, this is waaay better and allows for uninterrupted concentration. I’ve wanted one for years. At $200, I popped for it immediately.

The computer first …
The computer first slightly moves the pawn in front of the knight out of the way so the knight can move. The pawn is put back in place after the knight moves.
The same thing happens when castling or anytime a piece blocks a legal move.
