Neither could compete with Sargon 2.5 which came out about the time the Voice Challenger did maybe a little later. I got my Sargon 2.5 around Christmas time in 1979. I later updated to the Great Game Machine with the Gruenfeld,Morphy,Capablanca modules. I still have them. It also accepted Borcheck, a checker program which I thought played pretty good for a 2 Mhz 6502 chip. Jim Walker
