The First Computers (1977-1980)
From Data Cash Systems, April 2014, ChessEval.com
The calculator form was not spectacular, still the CompuChess was
enough small to be easy to use on the side of a classical chess
board.
Data Cash Systems was early on the project to develop a Dedicated
Chess Computer.
However, Fidelity was the first in this race and put on the market
the Chess Challenger 1 several months before them.
Moreover, the program of the Compuchess was copied by a company from Hong
Kong.
They sued the Company and lost...
Without any doubt, they were
copied, but unfortunately they were not protecting appropriately
their copyright according to the court.
They were the first victim
of inadequate protection of software rights.
They disappeared very
fast after the judgment.
