Hi, there is a small but not yet successful proposal (more complete at [http://www.rescon.de/Compu/schachfair_e.html]): "The size of a chess engine including its used persistant data has to be limited on approximately 1/4 MB, based on a strongly compressed form which could be achieved using high-quality packers. This has different reasons. It is not to provoke any competition e.g. in hiding pre-compressed components, and also the choice of a programming language thereby might have less effect on the relevant measuring size. System DLLs (without any relationship to chess) naturally should not been taken into account." Regards, Reinhard.
