Good!

I didn't look at the plastic pieces that came with my #1171 before I posted my reply to Larry a couple of days ago. After these posts from Mike and Paul, I got them out of the closet, and they are not the same as this current eBay auction. So I still have no verification that mine are the original C...

Larry, I don't regularly chaeck the chess forums anymore due to my stroke ten years ago, but saw the CC1 auction on eBay and knew someone would comment here on it. I have 2 CC1's, one with the same plastic pieces. Ismenio Sousa's forum, www.chesscomputers.org, has pictures of my set and asks for any...

Perfect!

I should have kept searching, but as I have gotten older, I have become much more impatient.

Thanks you,

Are there any current lists of known computers by strength?

i have been searching various sites, admittedly only for a couple of days, without success. I still have one I printed off in early 2005 from a Dutch site, titled Schaakcomputers sinds 1978. That, plus a list of Fidelity computers by model number from Steve from the same time frame, were reference s...

Hi Dick There you go. Unforgettable! The fact that yours has the plastic pieces shown on the CC1 boxes and the manual with the blue highlights just emphasises it's an early one, and a bit special. 5b-5d Regards Mike Uh-oh, Mike, now you've done it! Everybody is going to want this CC1 and I'm going ...

Re: New member has question on my CC1 s/n's, one is #1171

Larry, Thanks for that theory, but wouldn't that only be possible if the serial numbers of CC3's are in the same range as the upper numbers that are known for CC1's. I have a couple of CC3's, but they are in storage now and I don't know the serial numbers. I doubt that anyone has bothered to compile...

Hi, I was a charter member of Ismenio Sousa's Chess Computers Org. and was a regular participant of his discussion forum until my major stroke in Feb. of 2006. After nearly ten years of Internet forum inactivity, this is my first posting, so please be gentile :-). I started collecting chess computer...
