i am not so sure. maybe i mix it up with challenger 10.
but IMO rook wins like a1 takes h8 was possible.

maybe it was challenger 10.
the wooden version.

challenger 10 was before challenger 7.
challenger 10 was zilog z80 A.

there were 3 types of challenger 10 A/B/C.

challenger  7 came 1979 to germany.

as a follower of challenger 10B, challenger 7 now looks for pins.

i still have my first chess computer, and it still works.
the chess champion delta 1.
it could solve mate in 2 too.

but only over night. :-))
