Go up one level in this thread


I still have the original 5.25" floppy. Never installed it because my computer
at that time kept crashing and the only way that I could make another copy was
to use the original disk to uninstall or else it would not work again.
I did not know that when I bought it, or I never would have. It was my
understanding at that time that Larry worked in an advisory capacity in writting
the program, not that he did any programming, but supplied the chess knowledge.
I know that he and Marty created several other programs.
Maybe I am mistaken about his roll in MChess Pro v1.2... It still cost me $500
Maybe I was taken, but I thought I was purchasing a world class program at that
time and I thought it was worth it.
