Today's post Xmas offering is about a highly unique chess computer...

It was the only computer ever made to offer an"EMOTION"feature
With this feature activated,if the computer's evaluation function jumped up in a
winning position it would "gloat" making victory sounds(high schrill tones)  and
flashing lights
when in a losing position, it would make sad wimpering sounds (low deep tones)in
an effort to provoke sympathy from the player.in addition, it would flash lights
and make annoying noises while the player was on the move in an effort to
distract the player

can anyone name this computer?
Emotional Regards
Steve

PS..HI Djordje..please spell check the above
