Any suggestions for a decent handheld chess game for a kid? Does this look like junk?

You're absolutely right about the stylus. You must have kids. I think I actually have an old stylus from a Palm iiiX from a hundred years ago....
Excalibur is a good brand though. Supposedly, their chess timer is the only one officially endorsed by the US Chess Federation.
