today i got the Intelligent Chess (System) by David Levy. its a dedicated chess computer from 1980 with a tape recorder built in and TV-Out.
everything still works ! the computer looks like new.
These are pictures i found in the internet. I will make my own photos later...
Wow. unbelievable machine.
i remember how i saw this dedicated chess computer in the shops at Karstadt or Horten. I was 14 at this time.
The first game i will play is against Millenniums talking chess school.
IMO this is an appropriate opponent.

Hey Thorsten,it looks like a video recorder from the late seventies

this is only a tape recorder. you can speak comments about the game.
or save the games itself !!
the system still works fine. its amazing what david levy and his friends were able to build in those years.
here is an interesting article about levy...

there he also explains how he did those machines.
