Millennium Chess Classics Exclusive Chess Computer (M828)
The chess computer with the two ultimate engine classics ChessGenius & The King

The Chess Classics Exclusive consists of the MILLENNIUM Exclusive sensor board with automatic piece recognition and the Chess Classics Element chess clock module. This is equipped with two of the most famous chess engines ever: The King and Chess Genius. The special collector’s packaging with a two-colour foil stamp rounds off the exclusive overall picture.

MILLENNIUM Exclusive Board
The MILLENNIUM Exclusive is a very flat, handmade wooden sensor board with move indication by 81 single field LEDs as well as extremely comfortable fully automatic piece recognition. The noble sensor board convinces by its high recognition speed and reliability. During the game, it is not necessary to look at the display of the chess computer due to the brightly lit 4 LEDs per playing field.

Concentrate on your game. Only. Because moves from the computer, help or errors are displayed directly on the board. This is made possible by 81 light piepes embedded in the wood, each powered by an LED. The worldwide unique, automatic figure recognition with lightning-fast RFID technology provides a completely natural playing feeling. You place your pieces as if on a classic wooden board, the Chess Classics Exclusive does the rest! A look at the computer unit in the separate case is normally not necessary – it also serves as a chess clock. The extra large, illuminated display offers dozens of info displays around your game (similar to the former Mephisto top devices) and can be easily read at any time. All menus, help and texts on the 5-line display are integrated in all 7 device languages. And if you’re not playing, the Chess Classics Exclusive with its high-quality look will provide admiring looks. Because no matter if chess board or chess pieces – real wood and handcraft in connection with the high-end electronics provide for that certain something!

Chess Classics Element
With the new control module “Chess Classics Element” made of elegant real wood you equip your MILLENNIUM sensor board with piece recognition with two legendary chess programs: “The King” by Johan de Koning and “ChessGenius” by Richard Lang.

For the first time, both programs could be combined in one device, switching is easily done via the start menu, annoying unplugging is no longer necessary. In addition, the two chess programs share 9 memory slots for games played – so you can play with one engine and then analyze with the other if you wish.
