Yep it was more than 10 I believe, but I'm not sure on the number? I think 14
were sold in Europe, and probably 10 in the US...?

Elite avant-garde (Vers.10)

1990 were manufactured the most expensive standard chess computer of the world.
He was together built only on order by Fidelity engineer Ron Nelson specially
for the buyer. It cost proud 11,000, - to US dollar and accordingly small was
the edition. But are to have arrived nevertheless allegedly 14 piece to Europe.


I'll say 24 units.
Hmmm, this is like bidding on the Price is Right, but in this case the
number!:o)
