Hi All
As I am sure Steve knows L'Empereur competed at the World Micro Chess Championships at Glasgow in 1984. So there is a paragraph about CLJ Industries, JJJ and L'Empereur on the CSS DVD October 1984 page 10.
There's also a fleeting mention in the magazine article on Glasgow on my website -

L'Empereur's Glasgow games can be found here -
http://www.csvn.nl/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=41&Itemid=26&lang=en&limitstart=5
So L'Empereur seems to be an upgraded version of La Regence with a Richard Lang Cyrus program, designed by Intelligent Software, and manufactured by JJJ's company which was the liquidated company of Frederic Ries who manufactured La Regence (assuming my guesswork German is correct). That's all I know. Maybe there is more info buried deep in Alain's or Eric's vaults?
Really rare regards
Mike |
