I remember fondly, many enjoyable games on my 3.5Mhz Z80 Sinclair Spectrum with
Richard Lang's 'Cyrus' chess program. It was, in my opinion, the best chess
program at the time for the humble 'Speccy'. It had good graphics a pretty
decent playing strength and loads of customizable options. Baring in mind what
sort of hardware this program was running on, it was a marvel! It was eventually
dethroned by Martin Bryant's 'Colossus 4' which, I believe was the strongest
chess program for the 'Speccy'. Bryant's program even sported a 3D board and
'help' mate options.
