Ramblings about stuff



Sep 10

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.)
