Intelligent Chess – Vintage chess computer with cassette, original box and accessories

A special and now rare **Intelligent Chess chess computer by Intelligent Games**. This vintage electronic chess system combines early computer-era technology with the classic game of chess.

The device has a distinctive design with a metal front panel, wooden side panels, striking orange control buttons, and a built-in cassette player. A wonderful piece of retro electronics for enthusiasts of vintage computers, chess computers, and unusual collectibles.

The chess computer is designed to be used with a television, which displays the chessboard and moves.

### Operation and technical condition

**The device has been tested and works.** We were able to connect the chess computer to an older television and display the picture correctly.

There are, however, two important points to note:

**Cassette player:**
The inside of the built-in cassette player's door is partially damaged due to broken plastic parts. We tried to repair it, but repairing old, broken plastic has proved difficult. The door can still be flipped open with a finger, so the cassette remains accessible.

In practice, this is not a major issue, as the cassette can normally remain in the device. For the sake of completeness and transparency, we do want to clearly mention this defect.

**Connecting to a television:**
This chess computer uses an old-fashioned television signal that not all modern televisions can receive.

We therefore recommend using an **old CRT television with a wide tuning range**, so the signal can be received properly and the chessboard displayed correctly.

During our test, we were able to get a clear picture on an older television. Please note that compatibility with other televisions cannot be guaranteed.
