A data processing unit for chess with a central unit, with input keys for the central unit and with a start key for the initiation of the program for the calculation of a subsequent move of the game, and with a printing unit, comprising a control unit, a storage device, a power stage and a printer, the central unit being connected via a data collecting cable to the printing unit. The problem of the invention is the automatic continuation of the course of the game with any desired default time. For this purpose, a switching stage which responds to the print command transmitted in the data collecting cable is provided for. A relay is up-circuit from this switching stage, the normally-open contact of this relay being connected to the central unit, in parallel with the start key.
Apparatus for selectively enabling fully automatic play of a chess game including a data processing unit having a start input terminal and operable to automatically calculate chess moves and generating a print command signal as a result thereof, a manually operable start switch connected to said start input terminal for producing an activation signal to said data processing unit for initiating said calculations corresponding to only one move, a memory storage device for storing each calculated move and a printer unit responsive to said print command signals for printing coordinates of each calculated move, comprising:
