Introducing myself:
My name is Hardy, I was born in 1966 in Germany ( Bremen ).
At the age of 11 my father has taught me playing chess, this was the start of
an never ending passion for this game.
In the early 80's the first commercial chesscomputer were available in the city,
I enjoyed to play there, it really was a great time.
My first chess-computer was a present from my parents when I was around age of 16,
it was the Sensory 6 from Fidelity Electronics ( around 1982 ).
The playing-strength was quite poor ( ~ 1200 ELO ), it was not difficult to win,
however it was fun to play.
The next was the Novag Super-Constellation I got for reduced price because it was a demonstration-device in a shoping-center in our city ( around 1984 ).
The Super-constellation has already a good playing-strength ( ~ 1850 ELO ),
it was the first chess-computer I used frequently and it is still today a requested device
by fans.
I have sold all my chesscomputer long ago, but still own a Super-Constellation.
I was an international tournament-player with ELO > 2000, but now inactive since 2009.
