Leonardo with Maestro module ^[1]

SciSys Leonardo, (Kasparov Leonardo)
a dedicated chess computer by SciSys released in 1986, featuring a full sized wooden magnetic sensory board with file and rank LEDs, expandable with modules with own processors and programs. Opposed to other dedicated modular chess systems, the Leonardo already had a basic program on board - written by Julio Kaplan and Craig Barnes of Heuristic Software, running on a 6800 compatible Hitachi6301Y controller, which was also the program of the none modular SciSys Turbo S-24K^[2] .

SciSys Leonardo played the Aegon 1986 with two wins and a draw, and the Aegon 1987 where it drew two games out of six.

SciSys' or Saitek'sOpen System Architecture (OSA) implements a serial connection of the Leonardo, or its subsequent models Galileo or Renaissance to home computers or PCs. The OSA link cable convertsTTL to RS-232 levels and vice versa ^[3]^[4]. This allows to use the sensory board as move input device of chess program GUIs such as Arena^[5], or the dedicated user interfaces like Gavon.

In 1988, one year after SciSys became Saitek, the Leonardo was renamed the Galileo for copyright reasons and the machine was upgraded for faster response ^[6] .

Saitek Renaissance OSA-linked with Gavon^[7]

In 1989, the Renaissance board appeared with almost the same base program and featuring LCD and 9x9 square indicator LEDs - four sorrounding each square, and analyse and autoplayer modes.
