Hi Steve,

Because I cannot change the game data in Lichess, I had to delete the games and import them again with the correct game data.
So the links above are not valid anymore.
Here are the new links:
Game 1: https://lichess.org/LEliXy0C
Game 2: https://lichess.org/pmXTQP6U

Best regards,
Paul

Could the Robot in this 1981 photo be the legendary Boris Handroid?

Hi Steve,

Probably the updated version of Boris Handroid because :

The name is CHESS 2.5 (i.e. not BORIS and not SARGON).
Underneath I think I read (Applied) Concepts INC.
Kings are not the same (big cross on the king of CHESS 2.5).
The top right key is CE.

Cordialy.

PS : bad news : it seems that http://www.blitzchess.fr site no longer exists.

Hi Mychess

Very astute observations(as usual)
i didnt even notice the "Chess 2.5" until you pointed it out

i wonder why Blitzchess is down?
hopefully its just temporary

Fingers Crossed Regards
