Hello People,


I have found my 'Commodore CHESSmate' chess computer after many years languishing in the back of a cupboard.



It still is working well after all these years. I bought it here in the UK in the mid 1970's I believe.

Size is roughly 10 by 6 inches.

I can find no information anywhere . I cannot even find it in Wiki’ etc.




Could you tell me please; exactly when as it made; how many are estimated to exist etc. Also is it of any significant value ?





many thanks,


John Sealey

Hm, I did some digging and I found one on ebay that ended up selling for 348 Euros with 18 bids. In USD, thats close to $430 or so.

Hi,
You are lucky to have a Commodore CHESSmate computer. I have found some information about the Commodore Chessmate computer in Wikipedia. Actually in Russian Wikipedia. According to the page the Commodore CHESSmate computer is created in the year June 1978.The computer is having a 5 KB ROM and 320 bytes RAM. I don't know the current price of the Chessmate computer and you have already found it.
