Hi,
third round starts with Fidelity Chess Challenger 7 facing the Novag Chess Champion Delta-1. Both belong to the same era, and it was fun to watch their very similar red displays side to side. Similarity stops there, the Delta-1 is no fierce opposition to the CC7

. Two points for Ron's best seller.
