Electronic chess computer "Genius Exclusive"

The new ChessGenius Exclusive is a handmade, elegant wooden sensor-board with a size of approximately 40 x 40 x 2 cm, with 81 LEDs as move indicators and a most comfortable fully automatic piece-detection, which is achieved by a new technology, The computer unit is located in a separate cabinet with a generously sized display.It offers numerous display possibilities similar to the earlier world-class computers from Mephisto, and can - very practical - also be used as chess-clock during a match. The comfortable handling of the fully automated board, in particular the detection speed and reliability, is exceptional. As the 4 LEDs flash-up brightly for each field, a look st the computer display is no longer necessary during the game.

The cable connection between the clock and the chessboard makes it not only possible to exchange the hardware module, it further allows future software updates to be made via the integrated USB-interface. An ARM Cortex M7 processor with 300 MHz and a significantly increased Flash and RAM-memory serves as motor for the hardware.

First assessments estimate the tournament strength of the ChessGenius Exclusive to range between 2350 and 2400 ELO, which ever surpasses the performance level of the legendary Mephisto world champion computers (which at that time used to cost more then 10,000 Deutschmarks!) Thanks to the new development from Munich, these devices have finally found their worthy successor - very much to the delight of chess computer enthusiasts all over the world.
