The next move is always up to you with the Kasparov Centurion chess computer from Saitek, one of the world leaders in classic electronic games. And the Centurion, with its slimly elegant tabletop styling reminiscent of one of those expensive Bose CD changers, goes a long way toward demonstrating why. Here's a computing device powered by four C batteries (not included) that allows chess players of all skill levels to go head to circuitry with a variety of programming. The easy-to-read LCD screen beside the play board displays computer moves, play level, and myriad optional features such as a clock for timed chess. And with extended teach mode ready to offer tutorials and tactics, or study mode set to replicate 20 classic matches and more than 400 chess puzzles, all at the touch of a button, it's no wonder that players aged 7 years and older looking for Bobby Fischer may want to begin the search right here. --Tony MasonPrice:
