yes, I guess the CC10 had the same kind of display. I always wondered if the changed had a meaning. You could definitely recognize Check and Checkmate detected by the CC7 (88 88 for Check, and alternance of 88 88 and black display for Checkmate) but I don't know anything else.

I have put the names because I had two "Fidelity Computers" tables and wanted different titles for each. May be the names are not a good idea ?

whatever you think is OK is Ok for me!

Which computer is the next regards ?
Alain

well i have the RFT SC1 on my desk for testing
as it is a Fidelity Clone it also has the JUMPING EYES and i could make a video of that ..it also has different keys then the Fidelity's

but i can make a video of any computer you would like to add to the video section of your site so you only have to ask for which computer you think would be interesting to see

After a late start due to extra openings prep and overclocking by Steve the match was played.

The CC3 won 1.5-0.5, over the Hiarcs 0.3 from 1981. We will arrange a rematch against the much stronger Hiarcs 0.5 from 1983.

Something seems to be wrong.
In the second game hiarcs could play 28...Rc1#

Are you sure there is no mistake in the pgn?

If not
Are you sure that Alain Zanchetta had no bugs in compiling Hiarcs0.3?

I also do not see the draw in game 1.
CC3 can force a draw by 3 time repetition but I did not see that it played the relevant move.

Hi Uri,

Yes your right Hiarcs did not play Rc1 mate Dont forget this was a school project when Mark was 16. The version from the next school project when Mark was 18 is quite a bit more sophisticated and wont miss an easy win like that.

Best Wishes,

Harvey
