I finally was able to get my "guess" in early enough to have a chance. It truly was a guess, as I didn't really have any definitive knowledge to base it on. I really appreciate this, especially since I don't have one of these computers. Now I need to find a box! :-) Your generosity in doing these "Give Away Contests" almost inspires me to try and do the same. I say "almost" for two reasons - my knowledge of chess computer history is so limited that it would be very difficult for me to come up with any question that would cause any collector pause. The other reason is that my duplicates currently are a Fidelity Phantom 6100 and a couple of lousy Fidelity CC1's. I can't see giving away a Phantom and I doubt anybody would be interested in one of the ancient, low tech CC1's. ;-) I will report on the Advanced Star Chess when it arrives. Basking In The Glow Of Winning Regards, Dick Schneiders
