ABOUT RADIOSHACK PARTNER 1680X VERSION II MODEL 60-2428A ELECTRONIC CHESS COMPUTER
RADIOSHACK PARTNER 1680X VERSION II Electronic Chess Computer - picture taken from box.
Your RADIO SHACK PARTNER 1680X Chess Computer is a relentless and versatile chess opponent. Easy to set up and play, it can teach you proven strategies and tactics used by grandmasters.
The main difference between Radio Schack Partner 1680X Model 60-2428 and Model 60-2428A are the way the playing levels are used. The later 1996 Model 60-2428A version is more user friendly in this respect. The play behavior is different between these two computers because of the way these play levels are differently designed.
