the auction mentions that the board is to be used to play chess with a real live person
i have asked the seller to include photos of the real live person included in the auction and also if there is an original manual included for the person
hopefully he will reply soon

Bidding Regards

Thats what happens somtimes when you key in the key words "chess" "computer".Sometimes I try different key words such as "electronic" "levels" and you find some real chess computers.

Are these collectable like the chess computers?

Hi,

it depends of course of the collector :wink:

I don't consider myself a real collector although I have many machines, but my favourite maker (at least for historical reasons) is Fidelity and therefore I bought on ebay Checkers, Dame, Backgammon and Bridge Challengers.

Best regards,
Alain
