A friend of mine has Fidelity's Chess Challenger I and it still works!! What really cracks me up is you have to enter the moves with the board notation reversed!. In other works the files are 1 thru 8 and the ranks are A thru H. You have to enter 1.Nc3 like this N2a-3c Does anyone know when this thing was made? late 70's?? maybe.
