Hi Thanks for responding. As I am sure you are aware a tactile board has holes which the pieces fit into because of the peg at the bottom, so when you are feeling the board to see where different pieces are you do not knock them out. If they are just magnetic and rest on the top of the square unless the magnet is extremely strong you will knock pieces over. I am just about to speak to cobolt so I will post further. ----- Original Message ----- From: "ari" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 17, 2006 11:46 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Talking chess computer
