First photos of a new Dedicated Chess Computer:

This computer is only a hobbyist work without
commercial intent... not for sale.
About the board
This board is made using solid blocks of walnut
and hard maple. Each square is glued on all four sides.
Handcrafted, the playing squares are
2-1/4" on this board.
The board is sanded
and finished like a fine piece of furniture with
several coats of a clear satin lacquer.
The
shape on the edge is rounded.
This board was done by the Drueke Company. It is
a true vintage board.
It was modified as follows:
- eighty one holes of 1mm diameter were drilled
giving four leds by square.
- on the right side of
the board:
- two large displays.
- eight holes for the control leds
(5mm diameter).
- eleven holes for the control copper
buttons.
More technical details to come... For now, only some photos.
