I've read of a prototype being entered into a early 1980's chess computer tournament but I hadn't realised it made it into production. And I've never even seen a picture of one (apart from a very grainy, poor b/w photocopy), or even heard of one for sale anywhere on the net at any time. If that prototype still exists and found its way onto ebay, I bet dedicated chess computer price records would be broken... Nick
