The sad time has come to part from my Mephisto chess computers;
these two machines have given me many fine games, almost always
beating me handily. 

The first is a solid-wood, hand-crafted set, beautiful pieces
with a pullout drawer containing the controls. It looks like
a beautiful set ordinarily, but the pullout drawer turns it
into a very challenging opponent: the Mephisto Exclusive.

The second is a portable, very flat. It is originally rated,
one of the actual machines used in the testing tournament 
that scored a USCF 2154 (strong expert) for the subsequently
release product line. Thus, there is no doubt about the 
of this machine. It plays subtly, with plans that are sometime so
gradual it is hard to distinguish its quiet intentions. This
is the legendary Mephisto Mondial.

Best offer gets each machine. The offers will probably be fairly high
since these are the best in the business. Bid now and reserve your
Mephisto!!
