MEPHISTO SOLAR KING
Congratulations on your purchase of the new Mephisto Solar King! The Mephisto Solar King is always ready to play when you are, and it can even teach you more about chess as you play!
Elegant, solar-powered chess computer which is extremely easy to use. Dual-Power enables you to play even under unfavorable lighting conditions simply by inserting the batteries.
Runs on solar power, which is environmentally friendly and cost free. In ECO mode, you do not need batteries to play. In TURBO mode, inserting batteries gives you even higher playing speed and you can hear the computer’s sound. You can run the computer on batteries when lighting is poor or when you want to store an unfinished game. Time-tested chess program with 128 skill level settings, suitable for 75% of all chess players and ideal for beginners as well, owing to its extended playing range. Ready to play at any time; the computer stores an unfinished game for up to two years (when batteries are installed). Practical storage compartment right next to the playing surface for captured pieces. Large playing surface (8 x 8 in.) and easy-to-handle chess pieces.
“A milestone in the development of chess computers: 1. advanced and 2. easy-to-use, with an elegant design.”
