Hello Fernando

What a fine offer! I'm looking for any old chess programs that I can actually
beat. They have to be very old. I tried playing against old paper programs.
Executing all the code myself. No luck! These programs are tactical beasts. I
think the program should be so old it comes with an abacus and a sundial. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Tony
