Fidelity Elite A/S Chess Challenger
Sort:
I understand there were two versions of this device? Can anyone tell me which version of the E.AS model this is from the serial #? 33298262, purchase date 12/19/83. Thanks for any help.
UPDATE 10/26/2018:
According to online info, this is the pre-Budapest version, the first of three editions of the Fidelity Elite A/S Challenger chess set. Second was the Budapest, and finally the Glasgow third and strongest version. Budapest test thus: GC > D2 square - LED activates & display change to hexadecimal = Budapest version > CL.
There is another test for the Glasgow version: when thinking the Your Move AND the Check light will alternate flashing. This edition does not do that, It only flashes the Your Move LED. Nor did it pass the Budapest test. It is thus a PRE-BUDAPEST. Hope it's good info. Still 2 days left to bid!
Hi guys, thought maybe someone here would be interested in my eBay listing for an original 1983 Fidelity Elite A/S Chess Challenger. Top of the line excellent condition. Original manual and packaging.

Thanks for having a look, I saw this model mention here on one of your forums. Sorry if this post is spam, but I'm in a bind and need some bills paid. Cheers!
