I don't get news anymore, but I think I can send news out. So please reply to me directly..... Computer Chess Reports is making some interesting claims about the Fidelity Travel Master, giving it a rating of over 2150, and describing it as tactically strong as the Mach III. Does anyone actually own this thing? How does it play? How easy is it to use, especially considering the small board? (They don't say, but I think the board is 4 inches square.) Have any units failed? IF the claims are true, then the $80 price tag makes it very attractive.

I called ICD yesterday. They still don't have it. Fidelity had told them another 10-11 days. --Jim

Apparently I can get rec.games.chess after all. Since this is the first posting I have read in weeks, am I to assume that there have been no postings on rec.games.chess (other than my own?)

Since >this is the first posting I have read in weeks, am I to >assume that there have been no postings on rec.games.chess >(other than my own?) I spoke with ICD on 7/29. They say it is fairly firm that Travel Masters will be in the country by the end of the upcoming week. So, the date for shipping appears to be 7/10-7/15ish. I ordered one several weeks earlier. Once received, I'll report back, but probably regarding features, ease of use, etc. rather than strength. Larry Kaufman has adequately analyzed the Travel Master in his latest Computer Chess Reports.
