Strangely L'Empereur is shown as finishing with only 2 points in the 1985 Chess Digest Supplement and also in Chess magazine
http://www.chesscomputeruk.com/Chess_November_1984.pdf
1 bye and two draws against Sargon 3 ??
Curious regards

Re: Collector's Corner..I Dont Think So..(Current Ebay Oddities)
Congratulations on the L'Empereur, Steve.
Beautiful machine.
I think you'll find some more published L'Empereur games from that WMCC 1984 Glasgow tournament here :-

It's frisbee years a distant memory.
At least no-one took a chisel to it.

Re: Do you feel lucky?
Yes. The 6114 and serial number 92230746 tell you it's a v.2 made on August 11th 1989.
If it is what it says it is.

No.
You usually use my old email address but I always check there anyway.

I've never spoken with anyone else locally that has an interest - which is surprising - with the concentration of tech/computer people in this area. Regional regards, Greg Hi Greg Well for the Bay Area you are missing a ce...

Hi Larry
I think this one is a first for me.

Re: What is this?
Hi Al Back in September a French collector sent me photos of this machine which he said he had acquired from Belarus. He wanted to know more about it. As mclane says it seems to be a ESB clone. Typical 1980s Soviet copying of a popular Western model. He said it didn't work and I suggested he send it...
