the Fidelity Champion Sensory was released in 1981 and has the same program that
won the  first Micro Chess World Championship in London in 1980,therefore the
name "Champion"
it contains the very first program written by the then happily married
programming team of Kathe and Dan Spracklen(now bitterly divorced)for Fidelity
it uses a 6502 B  proccesor running at the blinding speed of 2 Mhz
total number of opening book positions about 3500

it is rated today perhaps mid 1550's ELO


the housing used for the Champion sensory was employed by Fidelity to release
many different computers such as (but not limited to)
Septennial
USCF SE
Elite Champion
Champion Super 9

no collection can be considered even worthy to look at without one

Best
SBO
