The history of Chess Dedicated Computers is involving a few number of companies.
Most of them are defunct nowadays.
Some of these companies were only interested in Chess computers as a part of their activities: they were selling the products of other companies only changing names, labels, boxes.

During several years, the world of Dedicated Chess Computers was prospering bringing competition and interest to the game of Chess.
However, the Dedicated Chess Computers were expensive and their interest was declining with the increase of power of the PC computers.

My collection includes the following company products:

- Applied Concepts distributed by Chafitz, Sandy
- CGL
- CLJ
- Commodore
- Conchess
- Conic
