Only 4 units were made as well as 4 at 8 Mhz. Playmate Victoria was the latest commercial version sold in Sweden and including my opening book Master 6C of 70,000 moves in a separate cartridge. The chess board had 2 slots, so the second one was used for a dedicated opening cartridge. The turbo 19 MHz version took about 5 seconds to search the book! A fantastic chess board and very funny to play with also. It was not defeated by any human player even if it played nearly 20 games with players up to IM. We used that computer to partecipate to the Almeria WCCC in 1988 and the one in Portorose in 1889. Sandro
