I'm not sure if this has been mentioned before, but for those that don't know, it's possible to play some MS-DOS games in your browser, including some chess classics:

Interesting that Fritz 16's latest feature is similar to Chess System Tal's inner eye!

Thanks for this link!

Just saw a classic primer for Chess Programming published on BYTE magazine
1978 issue, Vol. 3 Number 10

Great resource for millennials, the ads on that magazine are funny, a huge wooden drawer being called a computer. 8-bits cpu, and ads are proud of that.

Now! A computer course and a computer kit featureing 8K RAM all for one unbeatable price! A powerful personal computer system!

Nice stuff, bragging his 8KB RAM while I am sad because I have only 8GB of RAM on my current laptop.

On my laptop, in the browser, it is showing around 700 nps.

On my slower i7 laptop it is doing 172 NPS.

Seems the emulation via the browser is very slow.
