was a brand name of 6502 module based dedicated chess computers by the German company Consumenta with a program by Ulf Rathsman supported by Johan Enroth.

The computers were developed by LOPROC [2], Germany, and manufactured by Wallharn Electronics, Ireland. After Consumenta went bankrupt in 1983, Conchess continued under the aegis of Johan Enroth. Princhess, running on a Conchess computer became tied World Microcomputer Chess Champion 1984 in Glasgow, where also two Conchess computers competed with Lars Hjörth as co-author. At the WMCCC 1985 in Amsterdam, Rathsman's new program Plymate as well as Princhess competed running on dedicated Conchess computers.
