Chess Challenger „The
father of all commercial chess computers“ The first chess computer which
one could buy on the market was made by the company Fidelity. He
was extremely weak and he permitted illegal moves. The notation
was frequented. Numbers 1 to 8 were on the basic line instead of
A to H. A very rare collector piece. In the German-speaking room
may exist approximately 10 piece of it. |
