Chess Solution and WChess Question

Post by cornetmike »

Here's International Master Jack Peters' opinion on a chess solution and computer chess in general:

Also...I'm looking for a commercial version of Dave Kittinger's venerable program WChess. From what I've been able to learn, "Power Chess" and "Power Chess 98" won't work with Windows XP. And "Majestic Chess" simply won't run on my machine. :( Anyone know of any other commercial versions of WChess? I thank you in advance!

regards
Mikey

It comes with the millenium software which also had Nimzo, Shredder old version.I don't know if it is available now, but it was certainly available in India.

yes but this program is damned old.
there was also a program called wchess as winboard or UCI in the forums.
but i doubt it is a kittinger clone.

I have the original diskette of Wchess, purchased n ICD, but I expended his three installs lot ago, so it does not work. Now if you know how to give new life to it, it is all yours....
I suppose something must be done in the root area to wipe the tokens or something like that.
I just would be happy if I can copy the revived stuff.

My best

fernando. i have the same "problem".
there is no solution.
there is nobody doing the service anymore for that product.

in germany it was once sold by german novag distributor.
but this company isn't anymore and the guy leading it is dead.
