EINSTEIN E=MC2 MASTER CHESS & CHECKERS Model E951

With his list of accomplishments, it is easy to understand why Albert Einstein's name has become synonymous with the word genius. Lacking a team of assistants or even the use of a computer, Einstein used his friendly tuned mind to reshape science-from our understanding of the properties of light and energy to unraveling the mysteries of our expanding universe. Now, in collaboration with Excalibur Electronics, Einstein lends his name to a new collection of games meant to stimulate, challenge and develop your mind -- while you have fun!

In 1999 Ron Nelson spent 9 months in developing a new 4 Bit chess program which became the foundation for many future Excalibur models as well as its continued use by Excalibur's successor EB Electronics. The first 4 Bit Model 375 Excalibur LCD Chess was launched in the year 2000. This program can also be found inside many chess computer models sold by other companies such as Radio Shack.

This 4 Bit program seems to be an even further slimmed down version of the original Nelson H8 program, compressed into this much smaller hardware and trimmed with many of the features of the original stronger H8 program removed in order to squeeze a workable chess program into the lesser ram space available on the 4 Bit hardware. This included removal of many of the more sophisticated chess routines used in stronger chess programs such as Nelson's Attack Bit Map Tables, much smaller opening books, removal of any pondering routines and excess search routines.

Nelson wanted to develop a capable program suitable for any beginning or hobby chess player and thereby finding larger outlets of distribution for the Excalibur chess products. Excalibur Einstein E=MC2 Master Chess & Checkers is a very playable and capable chess program ideal for most players was one of the many creations that followed as a result of this nine month period of new program development in 1999. Excalibur Einstein E=MC2 Master Chess & Checkers program is the same as Excalibur Kingmaster III which was first released in 2003, with minor cosmetic changes and slightly different hardware.

Excalibur Einstein E=MC2 Master Chess & Checkers was contracted for manufacturing by Excalibur Electronics to the EWIG Industries Hong Kong Office in Kowloon which is a subsidiary of EWIG Industries Macao Commercial Offshore Limited in Macau whose electronic manufacturing factory is situated in the Guangdong Province of China.

Excalibur Einstein E=MC2 Master Chess & Checkers is the last chess computer designed by Excalibur Electronic, prior to bankruptcy and sale to EB Electronics on July 1, 2009.
