My first chess computer in 1982, Six levels (with a module the strength was sligtly better but levels reduced to only 4) was very weak (1400 ELO).

Image

It has been a wrong buy. Not stronger than Mini Sensory Chess, weak even making blunders. I should have bought Fidelity Sensory Challenger 9.

Image

Good program by Julio Kaplan (1800 ELO) . Just started to work for Intelligent Games Kasparov chess computer importer for Italy.

Image

My first wooden chess board. (1800 ELO)

Image

Nice little portable by Julio Japlan (1600 ELO)

Image

Good program by David Kittinger (1850 ELO)

Image

I had only bought the Maestro and Analyst 8 Mhz (with nice display) modules. But I had the expensive Spark module from Kate and Dan Spraklen at home for testing purposes.

Image

Fidely Elite Avangarde 2100 (1900 ELO) exchanged with my competitor for a Kasparov Reinassance: Angelo Besana was their skilled technician.

Image

It was a a very nice 16kb portable with a good program by Julio Kaplan (1800 ELO)

Image

Image

Very good portable computer (1900 ELO) from the competitor Novag.

Image

Mephisto Modular with Polgar module.

Image

I owned the Mephisto Exclusive wooden board, but only with Rome 68020 WCCC 1987 module. This is the last Almeria WCCC 1992.

Image

Rome WCCC 1987 module by Richard Lang (Genius program author for computer) 2100 ELO with very solid playing style.
