In 78 or 79 the chess club of my college bought the chess challenger 10.It
played horribly and 3 weeks after we got the thing nobody was playing with
it.But it was the beginning and for the next 3 or 4 years i and some of my
friends bought chess computers like the constellation 2 and 3.6 mhz.chess
challenger 9,super conny etc..I bought the Prestige for 1600$ in 83.I sold the
unit 3 years later.(i paid 1600$ for a 1750 elo playing machine..what a
waste)but the thing look great and i was 22 at the time still living with mom
and dad not knowing the value of money....LOL.Anyway i got married in 87,got the
kids(and NOW knowing he real value of hard working gained money) and forgot
about chess for years.That being said i'm still looking for somebody to sell me
