The site was updated.
I am in the process to inventory all the computers, modules and printers. Photos need to be done.
The lists by brand are incomplete.
The ChessEval Journal was launched with a first editorial by our friend Hans van Mierlo.
The first article is exciting: the Boris HANDroid by Rob van Son... a rare computer precursor of the Novag Adversary and the 2Robot.
The Rare computers section is including more computers.

Presenting a list only could be a solution...

 Section "Robot" was updated.
Section "Eldest" includes now a more exhaustive review of the Boris of Applied Concepts and Chafitz. Still some adjustments and work remain to be done.

July 27th 2014
Section "Eldest" includes now more computers on the period 1977 to 1980.
I am looking to add the computers of the year 1981.
Section "Eldest" will be an history of the 5 first years of the Dedicated Chess Computers since the first one commercialized by Fidelity in 1977.
In the section "Rare" computers, I have updated numerous pictures of computers.
I am working on the World Microcomputer Chess Championship. I will limit the scope to the period of 1980 to 1993. After 1993, the Dedicated Chess computers were practically disappearing from the WMCC and the PC were taking all the laurels.

- the RFT/VEB table is a very rare computer: only very few were ever made.
- the ChessEval SAG 9 is just finished and you may see the first photos... ChessEval SAG 9.
