Ian
This was one of the few chess computers I bought in the late 1980s/early 1990s.
Somehow the attraction of the LCD screen and simultaneous games never was quite
so good in practice. Or maybe I became distracted by PC chess.

I still have it, of course, but more to the point I have another one which I got
for free when Nick Wilson sold his collection. It is just the board, nothing
else. I have just given it a quick test and it worked fine on batteries.
Condition good apart from one scratch. You are welcome to it for free if you
wish, and I can photocopy the manual to go with it.

Let me know if you want it, I won't be offended if you wish to go for the Ebay
one with box and pieces etc. In fact seeing you and Alain edge upwards 50p at a
time could be entertaining.

All the best
Mike
