Subject: Collector's Corner..Omikron Bogol vs. Novag Savant Royale-1983

Thanks to a fellow Collector from Germany i am able to post four very rare games
between two rare computers

now i realize this sort of thing is not for the causal tourist but in an effort
to preserve the historical record and to satisfy the insatiable needs of the
collecting addict i offer this post for your dining  pleasure

the following four game match took place almost 22 years ago(March 1983)

I have posted information about the extremely rare and infamous Bogol  before.
infamous,because it was the ONLY dedicated computer ever released to actually
have the colors of the squares reversed with a dark square in the lower right
hand corner

the Novag Savant Royale was the third and last in the Savant series and contains
the same program as seen in the Robot Adversary

the Bogol was the heavy favorite and came into the match rated mid 1500's with
the Savant Royale mid 1400's

the match ended in a dramatic 2-2 tie after the Bogol dropped the first two
games
one thing a bit odd is that the Savant had White in 3 of the 4 games
i cant say why this would have occurred but perhaps they were punishing the
Bogol for mixing up the board squares?
:)

below are the score sheets for each of the four games

please note..the notation is in German Algebraic so

S= Knight
L=Bishop
T=Rook
D=Queen

Game 1..score..Savant 1  Bogol 0:

too clearly, just e-mail me and i will send you
the scores in a clearer  file

My Thanks to Bernhard!!
