CHESS COMPUTERS -
Since time immemorial, playing chess has been regarded a game that was
reserved to human intelligence.
The so-called chess-machines (such as Mephisto and the Turk) later turned
out to be frauds - small-sized but strongly playing humans were hidden
inside the machine.
Since the advent of computers, chess by machines has become something not to
be ignored. Although twenty years ago many chessplayers looked down upon
chesscomputers, only the strongest players can beat them these days.

In the course of the years I collected more than five dozen chess computers.
Unfortunately, I don't have the room to exhibit them to the public.
But now pictures and descriptions of the complete collection can be seen at:
