Bogol

a series of exclusive dedicated chess computers, developed and manufactured in the early 80s by the German Omikron Electronic GmbH. It was Germany's second chess computer in 1981/82 after the Mephisto by Hegener & Glaser, and was supported by the [|West German] [|Federal Ministry of Education and Science], but only released in small quantities and prototypes. The computer's name was in remembrance to chess grandmaster [|Efim Dmitriyevich Bogolyubov].

The 6502 processing unit with a program by Olaf Schinkel and the sensory chessboard were seperate units, connected via cable. The Bogol 5.0 prototype, which had reversed square colors, played a strong European MCC 1982 represented by the Omikron team of Martin Suhl and Gerd Krey. Despite missing the first round and losing by default, Bogol managed 4 out of 7. According to Hans-Peter Ketterling, the Bogol 5.0 was never realeased to the market, apparently due to its close relation to another chess computer. || toc =Photos=
