Mephisto Portorose 68030 World Champion Chess Computer
This is, without a doubt, one of the rarest chess computers ever produced.
The House of Staunton is proud to offer the Mephisto Portorose 68030 World Champion Chess Computer for your bidding consideration. Produced in the late 1980s by Mephisto, the leaders in Chess Computers, The Portorose 68030 had an incredible 2236 ELO rating, which at the time was unheard of in the world of chess computers, and retailed for $15,000 USD. That's not a typo. In 1990, this computer sold for $15,000 US Dollars! The average price of a car in 1990 was only $9,700, to show you how rare and exclusive this computer was.
This is NOT a sold-at-retail-chess computer. You couldn't buy it in stores.
This is a LIMITED EDITIOM COMPUTER offered by Mephisto to commemorate Robert Lang's World Championship-winning software. It features state-of-the-art technology for its time, including dedicated boards with upgraded processors, advanced cooling, and memory, similar to the hardware that were used in the Computer World Chess championship tournaments.
It has only been used twice in the past 25 years!
Even though it is very old, It has only been played with twice - once by Frank Camaratta when determining it's official playing strength for the Computer Rating Association (CRA) in the 1990s and then last week when we tested it to make sure that it worked. We played two complete games with it without problem. It has been kept in its original box for all of those years in a smoke-free environment, away from sunlight and other things that could damage the finish.
Less than 50 were originally produced!
It's been in storage at the House of Staunton for many years, and now we're making it available to one very lucky collector! You'll NEVER find this computer available in such incredible shape. In fact, we can't even find a record of the last time a Portorose 68030 Chess Computer sold on eBay!

General information about Mephisto Portorose program:
A year had passed since the Micro World Cup in the Spanish Almeria and the new Kampfesort called Porto Rose (now in Slovenia). Hegener & Glaser (Mephisto) had as well as the annual previously set to the same successful duo Richard Long / Ossi Weiner - rightly as it turned out. Everything should be, and considering the high expectations, it was better. The "New" occurred mainly with a "commercial hardware", which was serious:. A Motorola 68030 36 MHz, 2 megabytes for hash tables to get for "cheap" $ 15,000 mortals were allowed a) their Almeria. It`s Send to retrofit to Munich or b.) to stock up on the "cheap" 68020 (32 bit) + 68000 (16 bit) module sets.
Since no commercial opponent was to be found on a limb on the World Cup, Mephisto got this title without a fight. But wait - the software group allowed the spoiled series winner but cross swords and show what improvements he had to have over its predecessor. It will not surprise anyone when they say that the game stalk of Porto Rose is still considered to characterize Positional-quiet. The already extensive library opening was extended again (from about 60,000 to about 85,000 half moves). The equipment was completed (some "Ungeschliffenheiten" of the menu system have been improved, including in particular the position input), 3 selectable play styles introduced (risk, Active (default) and solid). The remaining changes primarily the chess program. The play style is a bit more powerful, which is still far away from a wild attacker in any game style setting. It is interesting that the Porto Rose seems to show some already true strategic approaches and also positionally / tactically inept acts. Sure - there was at that time determined stronger tactician (Fidelity) but unfortunately fell appreciably in positional sense (albeit at a high level). It appears mostly to be the total package, what the postage Rose then turned it into a computer hard for people to like beating opponents. In simultaneous events the scalps of Karpov + Hübner were captured on the open computer Deep Thought World Cup which was also attended, this was defeated promptly. Is it any wonder still, which was downgraded to a selection of the then newly minted German Champion in rapid chess with 7.5 to 4.5 points? No - so what to achieve, the Porto Rose has been a little chess can.
The Mephisto tournament machines (hereinafter referred to as TM) were custom-made and sold at the chess Micro-WM's the WMCCC between 1989 and 1992 mainly from the hobby computer Centrale Munich. The wooden housing based on the proven ESB board. These products have differed markedly from the 32-bit "series modules" (Motorola 68020 12 MHz and 1 MB RAM), which calculated significantly slower compared to the TM. An estimated were of the TM in the "Sales Version" (Porto Rose - Vancouver 68030 with 36 Mhz) sold from 1989 to 1992 between 25 and 50 devices to affluent customers. For the corresponding cooling attended two fans installed in the apparatus.
At the World Championships from 1989 to 1992 again competed specially tuned WM devices. The TM in the "World Cup" version differed from the TM in the "Sales Version" hand picked 68030 CPUs, a quick coupler for the EPROM and the lack of cover / bezel on the keyboard and the display. Officially, there was the 68030 CPU up to 50 MHz. The hardware was then matched by Mephisto engineers in a selection process and adjusted. As of 1991, the CPUs were also overclocked. For each device so it was a "unique". For the corresponding cooling fans attended three eingebäute. To take full advantage of hash tables in tournament conditions-especially in protracted Endspielen- was the memory when the "World Cup" versions with 8 MB RAM four times (!) So big and much faster than the TM in the "Sales Version". Previous research in the hobby computer Centrale revealed that of the TM in the "World Cup" version probably a total of only 6 to 7 pieces were made by hand, namely
probably 2-3 units with 50 MHz clock frequency -> played with this hardware at the World Cup in Portoroz in 1989 and Lyon 1990
probably 2 units with 60 to 62 Mhz Taktfreqzenz -> played with this hardware at the World Cup in Vancouver 1991
probably 2 units with 66 MHz clock frequency -> played with this hardware in the "open WM" in Madrid in 1992
Conclusion: The TM presented the late 80s / early 90s, the "coronation" in the conventional Schachcomputerbau represents the time it was the maximum technically feasible with these "monsters" realized, from the built-in fans which an inimitable "voice" and an independent. smell in the room spread on to the imposing exterior appearance. At the same time, these cars marked the end of the board computer era. The TM practice so far still many computer chess lover a special and inimitable charm and are so far coveted collectibles.
