A warm welcome to you. This website is intended to be a source of information and interest for those who enjoy playing and collecting chess computers.

My own collecting interest is focused mostly on the early years. When chess computers first made their appearance through to the time they became strong enough to regularly beat club players. Broadly speaking the first ten years, 1977 to 1986. I also collect wooden auto sensory chess computers, robot chess computers, very strong chess computers and anything else which particularly takes my fancy.

In time there will be more features here filling in some of the gaps in the information available on the web. In early 2007 a SciSys section was added, and in Spring 2008 a detailed feature covering all the rare chess computers in my collection. Hopefully soon I will have time to add the written content to the Repairs section. If it isn’t finished this Spring it will be next Winter. In time I also hope to connect every entry on the Timeline to at least a picture of the chess computer concerned.

I hope that you find your visit of interest and welcome any feedback you wish to give. Email me at mwwebsite@f2s.com

Best wishes to all chess computer friends
