Strangely L'Empereur is shown as finishing with only 2 points in the 1985 Chess Digest Supplement and also in Chess magazine

Hi Steve and Bryan Well Steve if it was an ad and brochure that was needed how about these for the Boris Handroid? 4200DM for a Handroid, it says. http://www.chesscomputeruk.com/assets/images/Price_List_-_Boris_Handroid.JPG http://www.chesscomputeruk.com/assets/images/996962146206_0_BG.jpg http://ww...

Spares, repairs or firewood.

All the best

Little did I realise Nick's huge appetite for data and the speed at which he worked. It would be a pit...

Hi Al Back in September a French collector sent me photos of this machine which he said he had acquired from Belarus. He wanted to know more about it. As mclane says it seems to be a ESB clone. Typical 1980s Soviet copying of a popular Western model. He said it didn't work and I suggested he send it...
