Back from Brazil

[Alain]

Hi José,

Which one is this?

here is a link in Steve's album :
http://www.flickr.com/photos/10261668@N ... 923814103/

and here is a French ad from 1983 :



And I think that there was a second computer names "L'Empereur" but let's wait for Steve to give us more details.

The bad story is that I find last year the email of a previous marketing director of CLJ... but he never answered my email

best regards,
Alain

Hi Alain,
thanks for that intersting thread! Who is the only owner of that rare unit? Steve, you?
I never heard from that wooden chess computer made in France?
I will wait for more details if steve wake up at 13:00 a clock

Rare France units Regards
José

hi Jose
it makes me very sad that all this time the TSBIV La Regence is in my photos and i see you never once looked into it..there are 10 photos of this computer in the Applied Concepts album


this only shows me that no one is looking in my collection
i think i will delete all 1300 photos at once


i will make a post about the La Regence this weekend

i used to also have the Le Emperour but sadly i was forced to trade it away.. against my will

i still have some photos of it and i will post those as well

as far as i know i am the only known owner of the TSBIV and the collector i gave the Le Emperour to(under duress) is the only known owner of that computer

Sad and Under Duress Regards
Steve

hi Jose

don´t worry, always be happy!
For sure i looked ALL your computers, but you have so much - i forgot some from time to time. And some of them i never saw before, so to recognize - it´s difficult for my small empty brain.

this only shows me that no one is looking in my collection
i think i will delete all 1300 photos at once

I am sure you would not do this - but if, i will visit you .

i will make a post about the La Regence this weekend

oh yes in simple, normal English please! Thanks

i used to also have the Le Emperour but sadly i was forced to trade it away.. against my will

Hmm, i am not sure you speak the true? Against your will? No, No

i still have some photos of it and i will post those as well

Please!

as far as i know i am the only known owner of the TSBIV and the collector i gave the Le Emperour to(under duress) is the only known owner of that computer

That reason i would really want know. You ever told me - do not trade rare units!
It makes ME very sad...

Rare Units Regards
José

And here Jose is another photo that i am sure you have not looked at either




from the Printed Materials Album..

a rare photo of the TSBIV competing against the even rarer Omikron Bogol 5.0

the Bogol was the only chess computer ever sold with the squares reversed by mistake
the lower right hand corner has a dark square instead of a white square

the Bogol is in the bottom of the photo and the TSBIV is at the top




Three Rarest Computers Ever Released For Sale Regards
Steve

Yes Steve, you are right!
but the quality of the photo is not really good, so the computers looks like a normal woodboard

Go on Regards

if you look at the bottom computer you can see the board has a white square on the wrong side
look at the position of the pieces


but its true...the photo is not very good
the time i took this photo was back in 1982 and in those days cameras were not very good


here is an even better photo of the Bogol 5.0





This Is The Stuff Legends Are Made From Regards
Steve

PS.and two games ..Bogol 5.0 against the Novag Savant(which can be downloaded for better viewing):

[Jose]

Yes i see the wrong positions of the squares?! It´s like the great mistake from Ron!
I never heard from Bogol 5.0, also not from V1.0 to 4.0

The second photo you post of the Bogol i can only see the wrong squares and a cable and a board! But you can not see that it is a chess COMPUTER!!??

Beut very, very intersting! You shot this photos?

Bogol Regards José

[Steve B]

Beut very, very intersting! You shot this photos?

Bogol Regards José

no i was too young to operate a camera in 1982
not even 3 years old


I Wish Regards
Steve

I am disappointed, I thought you were gifted enough to take pictures before being three years old.

Ready to bet that you talked very early regards

[spacious_mind]

Welcome back Nick !

next time, come to France : there are also very rare computers to hunt here (but may be impossible mission) : CLJ La Regence, L'empereur

best regards,

Alain

Hi Alain:
Wow that CLJ La Regence looks great !! I WANT ONE !!!

btw. I brought you something back from Brasil if you still want it??

Best Regards

[spacious_mind]

that will be a very hard job to find a Splice Byte XD300! For sure it is easyer to find a Brazil girl playing against a chess computer!

Good luck Regards
José

Hi José

You are not suggesting that Brazilian girls are easy ???

I want to go back to Brasil

[Alain]

Hi Nick,

I brought you something back from Brasil if you still want it??

thanks a lot Nick, yes I am still interested

best regards,
Alain
