A French marketing and manufacturing Corporation founded by Frederic Ries. Installed at the angle of rue Baron and rue Roberval - maybe the origin of the Double R name of the Company (Roberval + Ries). Put on the market the first French Chess Computer "La Regence". France Double R went bankrupt, and Sandy Electronics manufactured and sold a "La Regence" with same wood design (with the button legends in German), but different for its hardware and its software version.

France Double R - La Régence (1981)
This is an ORIGINAL La Règence, made by the company of Frederic Ries before its bankruptcy.
Very few were produced and probably were used essentially in shows or championships. Three or four have been reported by collectors or people involved in the
France Double R company.
The differences between this
ORIGINAL La Règence and the
TSB4 Sandy Electronics La Regence are consequent as its seems that not only the woodwork and legends are different, but also the software and hardware:
