>You had a better experience then I had. I had on of the first chess computers >that fidelity put out. When anytime I tried to check mate the computer, it told >me the move was not legal. So I could never beat it:) sounds like the Fidelity CC1 released in 1977 the company was still a virgin to chessic things back then and released the computer with the rank and files reversed on the chess board to make matters worse you actually had to key-in the reversed coordinates to ame a move so e2-e4 became 5B-FD a whole generation of chess players grew up thinking this was the proper notational and hade much difficulty in later years reading chess books and keeping score in tournaments :)) Fidelity corrected this with the next computer the CC3(1978) Dislexic Regards Steve
