did you know that there is a Dutchman, Rob van Son, who a few years >ago, built his own Chess Robot? Out of old washing-machine parts? > hi Eelco yes i know Rob very well actually we are in email contact on a regular basis and have had a few trades together in the past he writes articles for Selective Search regarding many things involving the dedicated computers..the annual Gebroikers tourny,interviews and he even wrote an article about the Novag Robot some years ago i dont know if you are joking about the "washing machine" Robot because he never mentioned this to me and i did receive his 2005 CHESS Calender as a Xmas gift where each month was a photo of a different chess playing Robot even if he did build such a "Frankenstein "Robot it could not qualify for the rare pages as only computers released for sale are allowed the one exception was the Boris Handroid prototype ...but this was allowed on the rare pages because no one believed that the owner really had it and to prove it Kurt shows it on the rare page.. and the owner did not have to even pay the application fee :)) General Electric (GE)Regards Steve
