Your problem is covered in the Majestic Chess FAQ:

Q. My computer has an Intel 82800 family video adapter and whenever I try to run
Majestic Chess, I am told that the program cannot be run. What is the problem?
A. This problem is occurring because this graphics controller cannot support the
default resolution and bit-depth for Majestic Chess, which is 1024x768 with
32-bit color. But there is a workaround for this problem. In your Majestic Chess
runtime folder, there is a subfolder called "res". In this folder there is a
file called "User.ini". Open this file for editing with any simple text editor,
such as Notepad. There will be a section that says "[3Dsettings]" and a line in
that section that says "32bit_color=1". Change this line to read "32bit_color=0"
and save the file. You will now be able to run Majestic Chess.
