Go up one level in this thread


One day I intend to do a Timeline/Family Tree of Chess Computers as one of my
interests is their early development.

Just for the moment the first dozen or so commercially produced seem to have
been:-

1977
Fidelity Chess Challenger 1
Fidelity Chess Challenger 3
1978
Boris Master
Novag Chess Champion I
TEC
Compuchess
Fidelity Chess Challenger 10
1979
Boris Diplomat
Novag Chess Champion II
Fidelity Chess Challenger 7
Fidelity Chess Challenger Voice
Fidelity Chess Challenger Sensory 8
Novag Chess Champion III (Super System III)

Can anybody put their finger on the exact month any of these machines became
available.

All the best
Mike
