Some of you may remember about a year ago I was approached about setting up a short term
exhibit
at a local museum with a theme of "Computers in Chess". They had a year or so of
exhibits already
on the schedule at the time. They recently reconnected with me and have asked me to submit
a
detailed proposal of items to exhibit. Of course, the proposal is due Dec 1st.
The venue in question is a "real museum", so you can be assured of world-class
facilities related
to UV (light exposure), people certified to handle artifacts, environmental controls,
security, etc.
If any individuals or museums represented here might have ideas for portions of the
exhibit and/or
have artifacts, displays, etc. for loan I would very much like to see your ideas as
quickly as
possible. Rest assured that proper shipping, insurance, and compensation for temporary
loan of
items would be taken care of.
The timeframe for the exhibit is May 2013, and the duration of the exhibit would be about
4 months.
If your items are chosen to include in the proposal, the museum would contact you directly
to
arrange the loan and then provide a facillities report directly to the loaning institution
or
individual.
It is very important to me that this exhibit succeeds. If you have any items related to
"Computers in Chess" or display ideas, please email me off-list as soon as is
possible for
consideration.

I was thinking a KIM-1 running MicroChess would be fun to play against, though
it was not a superbly difficult opponent.

One thing you better make clear to anyone you ask for a loan from is if the
visitors will be directly interacting with the artifacts.

Not sure how old you are going but Battle Chess on an Amiga or Atari ST. It
probably offends the real chess enthusiasts...

Which in itself is a perfect reason to include it. :)

He.. Battle chess was fun to watch, I agree, but for playing, it was
always SARGON (on the TRS-80) for me ...

I too will be putting on a computer chess show in Jan 2013 at a museum
here in Houston but have not finished all the planning yet. I will be
using handheld computer games, table top games, and computer/console
based games for the display with some hands on being allowed. Not sure
if I will have it all finished by 12/1 in order to help you with your
planning. Good luck.
