The Elektor 'Intelekt' Chess Computer (1981) Tiny Chess 86 ported to the Intel 8088

摘要

The above text piece comes verbatim from Elektor magazine April 1981, and the sole reason for reprinting it here is the happy coincidence that the pristine prototype of the 'Intelekt' chess computer was not thrown away back in June 2006 when Elektor vacated its 'Beek' offices to move to Castle Limbricht, also in the Netherlands. As one of the final activities of the move, on a hot June afternoon the Elektor lab was cleared out big time and a ton of lab equipment, demos, databooks, magazines, artwork originals, PCBs and prototypes all deemed "unfit for future use" by the then management was thrown out of two large windows to land in a large dumpster.
