It looks like it might have an 8 x 8 grid. Is it some kind of pocket chess game?

1986 Kasparov Pocket Chess Electronic Computer Game
it was the 12 switches for the type of chess piece that threw me - I miscounted!
The two banks of LED paired pins is the clincher.
I recall a very techie training course in 1984 where we were given parts of PCBs to determine original function.
I think I even played against the beast in a shop in Gloucester and won. I thereafter shunned all computer games as not up to much.

almost a full house there, but as you say serial number not easy to guess...
the top label that has mostly worn away was the QA: 'PASS OK'
I am impressed by how long it has lasted, the icons above the button strip have faded [and btw the photo above is pre-clean ], but the strip itself [neoprene?] is as good as new and apart from a slight crack in the cover it is fine - not bad for what I understand was 250 Fr when new and when such things were not cheap and this would have been an inexpensive model
I really like this device because on a challenging setting it can take hours to decide a move, so I am not tied to it when I should be doing other things; also I find it easier to think the move patterns as opposed to a flat screen [2 or 3D]
I understand that the program on the chip is by Julio Kaplan, but i have no verification of this...
