Saitek Renaissance

Many would agree that the Saitek Renaissance is one of the most attractive of tournament sized auto sensory chess computers. Its clean lines and attractive veneers make it very pleasing to the eye. The four leds per square, lcd chessboard and masses of features also make it a pleasure to play chess with. It runs on 4 C type batteries or mains power.

This chess computer is in full working order. It is also in good cosmetic condition as can be seen from the photographs. Just a few minor bumps and scratches from normal use.  One bump on the corner of the keypad/module cover. No lightspots.

This Renaissance comes with the Standard Program, set of original pieces, power supply and manual copy (several languages available). All as shown on the photos. The standard program has a rating of 1514 Elo (Wiki). Stronger modules can be obtained for it including various Maestro and Analyst modules, and the Brute Force module (2018 Elo).

Price - £225                                                       SOLD

Conchess Monarch

The Conchess Monarch was one of the earliest auto sensory chess computers made, dating from 1982. The Monarch has a full size  chessboard with 5cm squares. In total it measures 51cm x 51cm.

This Monarch is in full working order with all leds, reed switches and buttons functioning correctly. It is also in very good cosmetic condition as can be seen from the photographs. It has feint light spots.

The Monarch comes with the Standard Program cartridge, set of original pieces, power supply with UK plug and manual. All as shown on the photos. The Standard cartridge has a rating of 1426 Elo (Selective Search).

Conchess Ambassador

The Conchess Ambassador was one of the earliest auto sensory chess computers made, dating from 1982. The largest Conchess is the Monarch, the smallest the Escorter. The Ambassador stands in between them, having a 30 x 30 cm chessboard, which is a little smaller than a Mephisto Exclusive. The Conchess programmer was Ulf Rathsman, also responsible for the ubiquitous Mephisto MM II module program.

This Ambassador is in full working order with all leds, reed switches and buttons functioning correctly. It is also in very good cosmetic condition as can be seen from the photographs.
