Is that the Psion chess below? I highly recommend it to anyone. Psion, despite being "only" 67K and old, played one of the most amazing games I've ever seen, any chess package, even a master, maybe grandmaster. This includes Francois Lanciault's Blackknight (I wrote reviews for QL magazines). (In fact, I need to find my notes; while Psion was playing White, it may have been Blackknight playing Black indirectly).
Come to think of it, an annotated version of the Psion game could even make a QLT article. Even an interesting one :-) .
