Go up one level in this thread


Sorry Ian I couldn't find the old thread.

Intelligent Chess is a real old favourite. It has a program by David Levy. Elo
around 1100-1200. Made by Scisys in 1980. It can be played using the LCD readout
and/or with the Television display (normal TV aerial lead). Buttons on the unit
to make the moves.

The tape recorder is used to load and save games. A tape of famous games
originally came with the machine. It also amusingly plays music etc tapes
through the built-in speaker.

Typically the TV picture is a little temperamental, with the horizontal hold
going slightly at the top of the screen.

The one in your link looks a bit battered which does not bode well. They are
heavy machines and fairly easily damaged. I have had to take one of mine apart
and mend it.

The machine has demonstration/teaching possibilities using the television
display and commentary.
