ABOUT THIS COMPUTER This is a very rare chess computer for your bidding consideration. Even though it is very old, It has NEVER BEEN USED! It was one of two units that was provided to Frank Camaratta to determine it's official playing strength for the Computer Rating Association (CRA) in the 1990s and was not used. It has been kept in its original box for all of those years in a smoke-free environment, away from sunlight and other things that could damage the finish. The computer is in perfect shape. It's been in storage at the House of Staunton for many years, and now we're making it available to one very lucky collector! You'll NEVER find this computer available in such terrific shape.
