About Scacco Matto Lampa So-Ghiùlain

Tha Scacco Matto a’ tarraing brosnachadh bho ghluasad dealbhaidh radaigeach nan 1960n agus a’ toirt cuireadh do luchd-èisteachd a bhith a’ rannsachadh agus ag eadar-obrachadh le cumaidhean agus solas. Le trì eileamaidean ceangailte gu magnetach, faodar an lampa so-ghiùlain atharrachadh gu còig deilbheadh solais eadar-dhealaichte, gus ùidh ùr a bhrosnachadh anns a’ phàirt a tha aig solas ann a bhith ag atharrachadh coltas, faireachdainn agus faireachdainn dachaigh. Faodar a chleachdadh mar vase, deilbheadh no gus solas a chuimseachadh air raon sònraichte. Tha na còig cothlamadh a dh’ fhaodadh a bhith coltach ri tàileasg, agus mar sin an t-ainm Scacco Matto, an eadar-theangachadh Eadailteach de checkmate.
