Models and documentation
The Catalog brings together models, variants, families and historical entries. Museum records preserve original collector comments alongside photographs and additional documentation.
Explore the Catalog →The Maurice M. Ohayon ChessEval Collection.
ChessEval is devoted to dedicated chess computers: their designs, programs, hardware, tournament histories and place in the development of computer chess. The website and forum preserve dated collection records, photographs and discussions.
Collection photographs, original documents and dated collector notes connect individual machines with their histories. Records distinguish what the documentation establishes from collector observations and questions that remain open.
