>How to get a free chess computer. Well maybe not today but when I produced my >computer chess magazine back in the eighties, Mephisto in Germany contacted me >to see if I would include their chess computer catalogue with every single issue >I produced for the next twelve months. I sent them my advertising rates and to >my surprise, instead of agreeing to a cash payment they offered my a brand new >Mephisto Exclusive complete with leather case (which I accepted). >The same happened the following year, brand new Mephisto Exclusive complete with >leather case arrived on my doorstep direct from Germany together with hundreds >of Mephisto catalogues. When I inquired the year after if they would like to >continue with our little arrangement, I was advised that the manager I had been >dealing with had moved on and they weren’t interested in advertising directly >with me anymore. >So the bubble had burst but I was a happy chappy. >Another interesting story from that time was when I was threatened by the not >very nice managing director of Conchess that I once had dealings with!! But I >will tell you about that some other time!! >Just another little note about my magazine. The first person to make an enquiry >about it was none other than Richard Lang. From that day, I have had various >dealings with Richard and if any UK readers who are reading this and think they >might have seen him in Cornwall this week, then you’re correct. He’s there on >holiday with his family.
