What a nice thing to watch :-) Chess is also a hobby of mine and computer chess is a fun topic, too. I remember when I was a kid (and still as a teenager), I would go to the mall with my parents (and later alone) and play those wooden high end (dedicated) chess computers made by Mephisto (Hegener & Glaser, before they were taken over by Saitek). As vintage computers, these chess computers have a vivid fan base (look at eBay for prices of those formed high end chess computers with Motorola 680x0 CPUs...). Chess programs took over when hardware costs of PCs went down and they beat high end chess computers at ease. One of the last machines intended as high end was the Mephisto Wundermaschine which used an Intel 80486: https://www.schach-computer.info/wiki/index.php/Mephisto_Wundermaschine. The Mephisto machines (with the wooden boards) are wonderfully made, I still own 2 of them :-)

If you haven't watch the movie Computer Chess, do it. It's really strange, but also a swinging good time.
