Subject: Free dos chess program

After entering the CCC4 tournement, I have decided to release the beta version
of my dos based program, the Warlord. It is written entirely in qbasic and
compiled with quickbasic 4.5, not to be confused with Visual Basic.
At this point it has no opening book, end game tbs, cannot save or load games.
Playing strength is set by the ply-depth. It has its own graphics and you can
reverse the board for easier viewing. All moves are entered by the keyboard.
On my computer, I can search 6-plys in about 35 seconds and 7-plys in about 2
and 1/2 minutes. I only have a 466mhz Celeron.
I am endevoring to create a small opening book before the CCC4 tournement if I
can, if not, the playing strength will be greately diminished. A strong opening
can increase you playing strength.
Thanks to everyone who has supplied much information over the years and would
like to comment on my program.
Bill
