Subject: Collector's Corner..A Blast From The Past

the CXG Chess 2001 is a real collector's item
although not considered rare, it was released in 1983 and featured an Early
Version of Richard Lang's Cyrus program
unusual for a plastic computer ,move input was auto-sensory which normally is
seen in more expensive wooden models
due to this odd combination of plastic and auto-sensory move input  the 2001 is
one of those computers prone to high defect rates like its younger brother the
Euro-Champ released in 1984

on Ebay now is an auction for the CXG 2001
looks to be in good condition and complete with all of the trimmings(box
,manual,pieces)

Wiki Entry for the CXG 2001:
http://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/CXG_Chess_2001

although there are no bidders now i am expecting a flurry of last second
frenetic bidding

but as i mentioned above..the computer could be working perfectly but can it
withstand the brutal torture of shipping??

Remember..Chess Computer Collecting is like a box of Chocolates
you never know what you are gonna get..
