The console
A reader of our blog has sent us some photos of the chess computer he dug out at his home: made in late 1980s, this was the game to play.

Soviet Sightseeings and Trivia Game
Screenshot of the game
It took us almost two weeks to get this done, but finally it’s here for you — the geography darts “How well you know the USSR”? The trivia would range from what the capital of the USSR was to the place which was called “the ice curtain” on the border of the US and Russia. There are 36 questions altogether, they vary in difficulty and pop in random order. You get to save your high score and compare it with other players including the USSR team. We had a trial run yesterday and so far the map has been viewed more than 17 000 times, and it’s still early!
Do switch to the FULL SCREEN MODE by clicking the square icon and then drag around — Russia is a big country, it helps a lot.
Re-tweet, let us know what you think — and thanks for being such a wonderful crowd. More to come — stay tuned!
