Why it's here: An opponent that is always in, always the right strength, and never needs a lift home. The Centaur works out how well you play and then plays at exactly that level — not by picking a difficulty number, but by watching your moves and adjusting. It is the rare computer that gives beginners real games instead of massacres, and gives club players a fight instead of a formality.

The Crystal Edition is the one to give as a present. Same machine, better finish, and it looks like an object rather than a gadget — which matters when it is going to sit out on a table rather than in a cupboard.

Self-contained: board, pieces, engine and screen in one. No phone, no app, no account.

• Adaptive strength — finds and holds your level automatically
• Complete unit; nothing else to buy
• Article 24001
