Anyone seen one of these?

Notice the seller is pulling the "no batteries, can't test it" trick, so I
won't be bidding. But I can't say I have ever seen one of these things
on ebay. Someone put me out of my misery, please...

Hi Larry
yes i have seen and i own one of these
nothing special about it though
its made by Toytronic
a Fidelity CC10 clone
keyboard move input
the board is just for show..does not recognize the moves
they pop up on Ebay every now and again

seldomly seen on Ebay however was that recent auction for a London 68k module
i came 2nd place at $700 ..auction was for the one program module..no display module or board
amazes me that after all of these years i just cant get my hands around a friggin London 68k module

to exact some revenge i fired up the Bavaria board and loaded it with the London 68020 module
took the white pieces and crushed it as follows:

[Date "2012.9.8"]
[White "Steve B"]
[Black "Bavaria London 68020"]
[TimeControl "5 Minute Blitz"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]

1.d4 d5 2.c4 dxc4 3.Nf3 Nf6 4.e3 Bg4 5.Bxc4 e6 6.Nc3 a6 7.h3 Bh5 8.O-O
Nc6 9.Re1 Bd6 10.a3 O-O 11.Be2 Qe7 12.e4 Bxf3 13.Bxf3 e5 14.d5 Nd4
15.Be3 Bc5 16.Bxd4 exd4 17.Ne2 Qe5 18.Qd3 Rfe8 19.Ng3 Rad8 20.Rac1 Bb6
21.Nf5 g6 22.Nh6+ Kf8 23.Ng4 Nxg4 24.Bxg4 f5 25.exf5 Qxe1+ 26.Rxe1 Rxe1+
27.Kh2 Kg7 28.fxg6 hxg6 29.Be6 Bc5 30.g3 Bb6 31.f4 Re3 32.Qd1 d3 33.f5
gxf5 34.Bxf5 Rxd5 35.Qg4+ Kf8 36.Be6 Rd8 37.Qf5+ Ke7 38.Qg5+ Ke8 39.Qg6+
Ke7 40.Qg5+ Ke8 41.Qg6+ Ke7 42.Qg5+ 1/2-1/2

Final Position
[fen]3r4/1pp1k3/pb2B3/6Q1/8/P2pr1PP/1P5K/8 w - - 0 42[/fen]


OK so only a draw ..but i think i had a win somewhere back there


Still Annoyed Regards
Steve
