Fidelity Champion Sensory Chess Challenger Septennial [eBay]
Posted: Sun Feb 18, 2018 12:45 am
Sometimes, on eBay, you could see some strange computers coming.
Recently, I was intrigued to see a Fidelity Champion Septennial. They are rare. At the origin, only 500 were produced. With the time their number must have decreased a lot.
The Fidelity Septennial Chess Challenger is the strongest of the Champion series. It is related more or less to the Fidelity Prestige Challenger, the Fidelity Sensory Chess Challenger Super 9, the Fidelity Super 9 Deluxe and to the Fidelity Chess Challenger Elite A/S.
In its aspect, it is similar to the Champion Sensory, but it has the CB9 openings module built inside. It runs at 2.4 MHz in place of the original 2 MHz.
I recommend the reading of Hein Veldhuis who has compared the Champion Sensory Chess Challenger Septennial (Elo 1650) to the Fidelity Elite Champion Travemünde 5 MHz (Elo 1700):

and for sure, the excellent website of Mike Watters:

What is particular: in this eBay sale, the board is green like in the Fidelity Sensory Chess Challenger Super 9 or the Fidelity Super 9 Deluxe, This is the first that I see with this variation: all the rest seems classical for a Septennial. Indubitably, this is an original Septennial.

I wonder if somebody has more information on this variation. Probably very rare.
