Sir William Kerr ..as the first to answer correctly


kudos to Graham Banks for also correctly naming Fischer


the review appeared in the first issue of the  short lived "Computer Chess
Newsletter" by Doug Penrod
it was a letter written to the publication by Fischer and an actual photo copy
of the letter was reproduced in the newsletter  with his permission


it was dated May 17 1977 and signed
"Regards Bobby Fischer"

even more interesting ..this was i believe the very First review of a dedicated
chess computer

in the letter Fischer also briefly mentions his 1977 match at MIT against the
Greenblatt Program

In the " Printed Material On Chess Computers" section  of the collection  ,this
extremely rare letter can be seen and downloaded..
