EdChess was a nice program. It participated in my Oldies99 event. The following
games were played at 1 min./move on PII-333, against chess comps:
[Event "Vor-/Trostrunde"]
[Site "Wien"]
[Date "1998.12.31"]
[Round "?"]
[White "Turbo 16K"]
[Black "EdChess 2.02"]
[Result "0-1"]
[ECO "B12"]

18...Nc6 Easy, but nice ("utilizes" two attack diagonals c7->h2 and b6->g1;
variants see above).
This draw against a good chess computer was also quite good, including a
surprising (and probably too risky?) sacrifice:
