Here is a vintage chess computer from the past, the Scisys Turbo 16K chess computer, in working order. It has a 8in x 8in press sensory playing surface with controls on the right hand side where there is also a special piece tray. It runs off mains or battery. There is no LCD display - moves are made via the lamps shown on the 16 edge LEDs. Very good opponent. Please check photos for more info.

Please check out my other items. Thanks for looking.

INFORMATION
In contrast to other devices, this chess computer calculates not only a possible return in the permanent brain phase, but three. Like his program-related brothers, he is thus capable of the so-called immediate response.

According to the manufacturer, he pulls to level 4 in 30 seconds, which he does not comply with and too often calculates beyond a minute, even the few immediate answers cannot compensate for exceeding the time in the slightest. Ergo active chess level 3.

The program does not recognize a draw by repeating the position three times.
