Gui sees f1 could be no move because the square is empty. But g1 , Rh1 cannot move because it has no square, g2 c...

This is indeed a very weak engine.... There were later strong 4K and 16k engines from Kaare Danielsen. Nevertheless programmers tried AI and B Strategy ideas in those early years.

Most programmers had 8 bit machines with 1 mhz (c64) and maximal 16-32 KB engine size. On the early 16 KB Ram homecomputers even less, e.g. engine sizes between 8 and 10 KB. There were mainly z80 and 6502 machines. One can say that a chess engine on 4 mhz z80 is maybe similar fast on a 2 mhz 6502. I...

Don't put the chess computers/PCs to the internet. Do internet with another machine.

And similar things can be said about android and IOS.

The future is to download 1.x GB to play chess ???

amazingly strong this "final" engine !!!
