Subject: Tiny chess engine...?

Author: Nick Pelling

Hi everyone,

I've been asked to find a tiny - no, a *really* tiny - chess engine.

The whole game (ie, code + opening book + graphics + display + input) needs to
fit in roughly... 64K.  (*ouch*)

(Say) 10K opening book + 10K other stuff would leave 44K for the engine.

Obviously I don't expect to fit any engine whose prefix is "Deep" into this. :-/

However, the smallest (non-Java) chess engine I've found so far compiles to
roughly 120K... almost three times the size. :-(((

Can anyone suggest a tiny engine that might fit the bill?

Thanks, .....Nick Pelling.....

PS: yes, it's commercial, but no, it's not for a mobile phone... :-9
