MAKE THOUSANDS!!!
I found this on a bulletin board and decided to try it: I don't care
about the useless pre-fabricated crap this message usually says. All I
say is, it works. Continue pre-fab crap.

I saw him f.cking a pig and chess players are well known to participate in
these rituals!

There are onling game sites where players are using chess programs t
play one minute chess games.  There computer chess program play
automatically for them, they just watch.
Some claim to have auto play software, others claim to be using Fritz

I'm an old chess programmer.  I probably wrote my first one nearly 20 years
ago.  (My first attempt was in BASIC in 82.  Needless to say, that project
was not successfull....[grin]  Chess programming got put on hold until I got
a compiler.)

Does anyone use pocket fritz on a acer n30 pocket pc? I managed to install
but there seem to be some problems.

As from last night www.chesslib.no and www.behind.chesslib.no
are both history.
However, chesslib.no is still alive - I am currently building

I have downloaded a few of the six-piece table base files from Dr Hyatt's
home page. Some other files have been split into two or more parts with the
name being followed by a figure. I realize that they are divided because
they exceed the maximum size of older file systems.

I'm intrigued to hear Chessbase will be incorporating new "analysis"
features in it's Fritz line of chess playing programs. I think this is
a welcome development because I find it's current set of analysis
tools to be very limited.

program out there?
Thanks

How does one use these tablebases? I have installed several of them into
c:\TBS and have shown a path to this folder in Tiger15's preferences.
Now what???
Thanks,

It stops working after around move 30. I guess this is a security feature.
Is there any patch or any other way around this?

 How many computer programs will play ?
Will Hydra play ?
  id like to see IBM get back into this too....

I'm trying to remember the name of two chess computers from the mid
80's.
The first was made by Fidelity.  It was a travel kind of chess computer
and the pieces had pegs that fit into a hole in each square.  It was
