Subject: Collector's Corner: Patent for Novag Robot Adversary!

After a lot of searching, I believe I have found the patent for the Novag Robot
Adversary.  The patent was filed in 1981 by California R & D Center and the
patent is for "Robot computer chess game".  I've only had a chance to briefly go
through it but interestingly the patent makes reference to both the Turk and the
Boris Handroid.  By the way, I deseperately want a working Adversary and I'm
willing to pay through the nose for one.  If you have one you would like to
sell, please email me.  Here is the link to the patent:

I've been searching for the patent for the Milton Bradley Grandmaster too, but
so far no luck on that one.  I'll let you know if I do find it.  Steve, how does
the finished product compare with the patent?

Robot crazed regards,

Michael
