Except mine had beautiful wooden pieces! A fine computer for one of the early ones! When calculating a move the digital display would flash the upper part and then lower part alternately (red LED). Loved that computer although the only game I ever lost was the very first time I played it. I was rusty - that's my excuse anyway! I'd had a complete break from chess for about 7 years and discovering computer chess got me back into the club scene. Only disappointment of course was that it didn't castle and to get a halfway decent game you had to let it use its highest level which was about 20 minutes per move! Graham.
