Just bought this off eBay. It’s a Conchess Ambassador chess computer, originally manufactured in about 1984. I had a smaller model when it was new - see http://blog.davee.me.uk/post/992238436/how-about-a-nice-game-of-chess - and this one has the same circuitry, but a friendlier rosewood/mahogany board. It works using magnets, so you just have to move the pieces from square to square: no pressing of buttons or squares to make it work. It’s is perfect condition and obviously hasn’t been used very much. LIKE! (There’s a standard CD at the bottom of the photo to give an idea of the size.)
