Chess computer from outer space?...

Post by Larry »

All I can read on it is "Systema". Is it the very rare "Solar Systema"?

One guy wants it sent to Hungary, even not working... so at least he
considers it a worthy buy. Just wondering if it is really a rarity. It's probably
just got nothing wrong that a home handyman can't fix.
nice day all...

Hi Larry
It's a old Systema Challenge programmer by Gyula Horvath and has a rating about ELO 1800.
The Hungarian guy might even be Gyula himself, who knows!?
Here's a link to a UK company selling a repaired one but the amazing thing about this ad is that it states that you can actually hire the chess computer?
