This Playmatic S is the most attractive of the my 3 Playmatic: pristine condition (like new), security labels, and a beautiful wood finition.
The Fidelity Playmatic S is a beautiful wood chess computer made in Germany.
It is a "De Luxe" version of Fidelity Sensory 9 which was in plastic. However, it is a strong opponent, much more than the Super 9.
Its biggest difference with its plastic brother is the auto-sensory board with 64 LED and its faster processor.
Two versions were identified: with the computer on level 1, move 1.h4, then you get:
- black 1.e5 or 1.d5: version A
- black 1.b6: version B
Specs:
- program: an & Kathe Spracklen
- Elo: 1707
- processor: 6502B@3,1-3,2 MHz
- RAM: 2 KB
- ROM: 16 KB (expandable to 32 KB)
