Mephisto Marco Polo (1987)

We would like to congratulate you on the purchase or your new MEPHISTO Marco Polo. This computer offers you an excellent price-to-performance ratio. Although the computer costs relatively little, test games against much more expensive chess-computers (also higher rated) have shown that the MEPHISTO Marco Polo is a very strong partner. With it’s Tutor function the computer offers you a completely new feature which will help you to learn and improve your chess.

We of the MEPHISTO team wish you many happy hours with your MEPHISTO chess partner.
