The Chess Companion II uses the same Kaare Danielsen 4K program as the Explorer, Olympiade, Mark 8, Concord and Concord II.

Apart from colour the casing is identical to the Olympiade. It also uses the same 0609V171 bespoke singlechip that is in the Olympiade but the Chess Companion II was sold in much larger numbers.The one in the pictures is a German Quelle example produced in 1985, but the Companion II was available from 1983 when it sold for £59.95 in the UK, at which price it was good value and sold well..
