A New Great Arrival to my Humble Collection!!!!

Post by Fernando »

Thanks to the generosity of a pal here, Chris, I posses now a VCC Fidelity machine, which I desired since long ago.
As you know it was the first chess computer to talk, though just to announce moves and little more, which in fact is a blessing after all the insults we receive on a daily base from fritz... or the bloody comment of Fidelity Chesster, the talkative version of Par Excellence.
With VCC my collection get an enhanced value and I win many hours of enjoyment.

At the same time I received from the postman the computer, I received a delivery of books from amazon.
Yes, There are days as this, full of pleasures....

I also get a buzz when an addition to my collection arrives.
Way back in time I bought new a machine the same as you just
received. To be honest, it was a purchase I later regretted. To me it
was a fancy version of the standard Fidelity CC7, jazzed up with a voice
and a pretty black casing. In early days I was naive enough to think
every chess computer model had it's own unique program, written from
scratch.
Anyway, have fun with it.

Of all the interests I have and the forums that support them this is the only forum where members are genuinely helpful and generous to each other.

If only all forums were the same.

Well, it has a program slightly better than cc7, not just the voice. In any case the difference between a 1300 with a 1350 elo is not enough for a decent player as I am to feel the difference. I win both of them almost without thinking, BUT equally es an interesting experience. a way to control your mind in order NOT to let things going too far trough the path of pride, because even a machine of this caliber can strike you if you are not attentive.
