>can anyone tell me what chess computer is the smallest and which one is the
>biggest ? ( sizewise )

the smallest would have to be the Fidelity Chess Card(Model no.6115)
it is about the same size as a credit card but a tad thicker
CXG also put out the same computer under their label(model 241)

plays a dismal game of chess

the largest is not so simple
many computers have been released that are full sized tournament boards
these were the largest ever released for sale
examples would include (but not be limited to):
Excalibur GM
Fidelity Prestige Challenger
Mephisto Munchen board
etc.etc.

the largest chess computer i have ever seen is the Boris Handroid
however this computer was never released for sale as the company went out of
business before it was released.
only two known protoypes were made:
