Fidelity

aus Schachcomputer.info Wiki, der freien Schachcomputer-Wissensdatenbank

Existenz: 1977 - 1992

Fidelity Electronics Inc. (Fidelity International Inc.) wurde 1959 in Chicago, Illinois, gegründet und zog einige Zeit später nach Miami, Florida, um. Ursprünglich stellte Fidelity medizinische Geräte her und importierte auch Hörgeräte aus Österreich.

Im Jahr 1968 wurde Sidney Samole Geschäftsführer von Fidelity, und 1970 kaufte er alle anderen Anteilseigner auf und wurde damit alleiniger Eigentümer und Präsident.

Irgendwann im Jahr 1976, als Sidney fasziniert eine Star-Trek-Folge verfolgte, in der Mister Spock gegen einen Schiffscomputer Schach spielte, entstand die Idee, einen eigenen Schachcomputer zu entwickeln, nachdem er eine unruhige Nacht damit verbracht hatte, aufgeregt über diese Star-Trek-Folge nachzudenken.

Am nächsten Tag besprach er seine Gedanken mit seiner Sekretärin, die, nachdem sie seine Ideen gehört hatte, ihm mitteilte, dass ihr Mann in seiner Freizeit als Hobby an einem Schachprogramm arbeitete. Als Sidney diese Nachricht hörte, stellte er diese Person natürlich sofort ein. Sein Name war Ron Nelson.

Ron Nelson schrieb für Fidelity alle Schachprogramme für die frühe Reihe von Schachcomputern.

Im Januar 1977 war Fidelity schließlich bereit, der Welt den ersten speziellen Schachcomputer, den FIDELITY CHESS CHALLENGER, zu präsentieren.

Der Chess Challenger hatte viele Fehler, er hatte ein sehr schwaches Programm und war sehr benutzerunfreundlich. Aber er leitete die Ära der Schachcomputer ein. Er wurde schnell durch den Chess Challenger 3 ersetzt, welcher sich weltweit sehr gut verkaufte.

Fidelity nutzte diesen Erfolg, um sich schnell als der weltweit führende Hersteller von Schachcomputern zu etablieren, und brachte in den folgenden Jahren eine große, ständig verbesserte Reihe hervorragender Maschinen auf den Markt.

In der Zwischenzeit begann Ron Nelson, der bewiesen hatte, dass er über große Fähigkeiten im Bereich der Hardware von Schachcomputern verfügte, mehr im Bereich der Produktion und der Technik zu arbeiten.

Fidelity wollte seinen Status als Spitzenhersteller sichern und engagierte erfolgreich Dan und Kathe Spracklen, die irgendwann im Jahr 1979 zu ihrem Team stießen, nachdem sie kurz zuvor ihre Beziehung zu Chafitz Inc. beendet hatten.

Der Erfolg der Spracklen's bei Fidelity stellte sich sofort ein, nachdem sie ihr erstes Fidelity-Projekt, den Fidelity Chess Challenger X, bei der ersten Weltmeisterschaft im Mikrocomputerschach (WMCCC) im Jahr 1980 angemeldet hatten. Er gewann das Turnier und wurde mit einer perfekten Punktzahl von fünf Siegen in fünf Partien der 1. Weltmeister der Mikrocomputer.

Fidelity und die Spracklen's gewannen die ersten vier Weltmeisterschaften im Mikrocomputerschach, bevor sie den Mephisto-Computern von Hegener & Glaser und dem Programmierer Richard Lang den Titel überlassen mussten. Fidelity konnte danach nie wieder eine Weltmeisterschaft im Mikrocomputerschach gewinnen.

Die ersten 4 Weltmeisterschaften im Mikrocomputerschach (WMCCC):

1. WMCCC 1980 London Fidelity Chess Challenger X
2. WMCCC 1981 Travemünde Fidelity X (Offene Gruppe), CC Mark V (Kommerzielle Gruppe)
3. WMCCC 1983 Budapest Fidelity Elite X (A/S Budapest)
4. WMCCC 1984 Glasgow Fidelity Elite X, Conchess X, Mephisto III-S Glasgow, Psion


In den späten 1980er Jahren begann der Verkauf von speziellen Schachcomputern aufgrund der zunehmenden Konkurrenz durch Personal Computer und schnell verbesserter Software, die zu einem Bruchteil der Kosten eines vergleichbar guten Schachcomputers verkauft wurde, zu sinken.

Schließlich wurde Fidelity Electronics 1989 nach großen finanziellen Verlusten an seinen größten Konkurrenten aus Deutschland, Hegener & Glaser, verkauft.

Fidelity machte in Nordamerika weiterhin große Verluste, bis Hegener & Glaser schließlich 1992 beschloss, den Betrieb von Fidelity vollständig einzustellen.

Der letzte von Fidelity produzierte Computer könnte ein Chess Mate oder Avanti gewesen sein. In jedem Fall waren beide Maschinen im Vergleich zu den vielen großartigen Maschinen, die während der glorreichen Zeit von Fidelity hergestellt wurden, sehr schlecht.
