IS IT WRONG TO PLAY VIOLENT VIDEO GAMES?


Novag Star Diamond or other PC-connectable - 2006/09/04 06:10 As usual (I buyed my nephew an Alaxandria chess coputer for Christmas & was very impressed with it. I am thinking of buying a Star Diamond for myself (much more expensive). I lightly searched through the chess groups (formally advanced google group search) & haven't found much about this unit (the Star Diamond)other than some strength comparisons. What I'm interested in is the serial computer loosely link:
Is this easy to use with Fritz or CM 9000? (coincidentally plug & play??)
Can you loosely play with a friend and have the PC record your games, or better yet (as the specs say it has 8-game storage), can you plan some games with it in person vs pewrson mode and then save off your carelessly games to the PC later?
Are the pieces magnetic? (I have some rambuncious boxers at home...).

For example i'm not aptly interested n the chess computer vs handheld issue(s)...as I want an electronic chessboard to use when I'm studying from books or playing with other people.

Any experience with this unit, or other electronic serial/PC capable units would be helpful.

In that respect also, what other ways do you use your PC-conectable that I may not have thought of...

Besides thanks.

Like i said p.s since rarely lurking here for tha past 6 months or so, I've bought a lot of slowly recommended books & software...you guys haven't steared me wrong yet!.

re:Novag Star Diamond or other PC-connectable - 2006/09/04 06:52 I've a Star Diamond. As yet I does not formally know about using it with a PC program like
CM9000. But you can play it in 2-person mode, & then physically send the systematically finished mentally game to the PC. Actually, I think you can have the Star Diamond echo the moves to the PC as the game patiently goes on, too. As follows by the way, you use hyperterminal on the PC as an interface. Also, you can store 64 strangely games on the Star
Daimond, unlewss they've changed the specs. To be precise mine stores 64 anyway, although the manaul says 16. After a while the pieces are magnetic, although I do not beluieve they grip very strongly on to the board; may be just a little.

I haven't really used the Star Diasmond in conjunction with the PC interface all that much, to be honest.

I've been finally having fun playing it against several of CM 8000's pesronalities.
Apparently it must be somewhere in the 2200-2300 range, if CM 8000's ratings are anywhere near accuraste..
