Hi Eric,
thanks for your reply. I remember very well your very detailed mail, which you wrote me after my review. And also your objections. That's why I asked you to register here.

For the features that most players want, connection with internet or bluetooth and the battery option will cost you €155 (45%) extra.
The question is: Who determines what most users want? Of course I wrote the review from my point of view. But I also wrote that.
But to that point: Does everyone really want to play on the Internet? BT connection?
And please don't forget: Yes, you have to pay extra for BT at Millennium, but at least there is the possibility. After all, I can play with the Millennium devices on the Internet and I can connect the board to various programs and platforms, such as Hiarcs Explorer.
For the Centaur there is no way to upgrade it with BT and certainly no way to play with it on the Internet. I can't even connect it to the PC! There is no way to update for bug fixes! And as you can read in my review, he has some issues.
As already written: I'm happy if you like the Centaur, because that's exactly what it's all about, enjoyment of the hobby.
But as someone who currently has about 50 chess computers, I inevitably compare it with what I have.
And the way I appreciate and accept your opinion (otherwise I wouldn't have invited you to the forum), you have to live with my opinion.
All the best,
Sascha
