Hi Thorsten,

Welcome on the ChessEval Forum!
So, you were in contact with the first chess computers...
Back to this period (1977), CC1, CC3, CompuChess and Boris were on the market.
Which one did you try in 1978?
Personally, I got the CompuChess first edition and the Boris Plays Black. Definitely, the Boris was my preferred.
Best,

Maurice

My first dedicated chess computer was the delta 1. Then later mk3.
But with my best friend Alexander we had the mk1 and later the mk5.
I then bought mephisto 1,2,3 and super constellation.
