It must just be a conflict with my computer, I've just allways had trouble with
it. If my memory's ok (sometimes it isn't) Cyrus actually had an acceptable 3D
board. I shoud try it again, what the heck, I just downloaded "Mychess" the
other day (again) and still haven't managed to get rid of it.
At the moment Mychess is the oldest Chess program ('79) that I have, (that I
know of), I'd be interested in finding to see if there's any Chess programs
available for download that came from the '60s and also worked on MS operating
system. I don't know of any.
