Subject: Smallest chess program in chess is in basic

Author: William H Rogers

I have been playing multiple tournements lately and am now in the process of
playing tournements with programs written in Basic.
In passing I found that I have a very old program written for the Radio Shack
Model 100 portable computer. RS Basic saves programs in a tokenized fashion so
the occupy the least amount of space. In this case the program was only about 4k
long. When converted to QBasic and expanded it now occupies about 8k.
It does not follow 50 move rule or the 3 move repetition and I am not sure if
allows captures enpassant but for a tiny program it plays fairley well.
I am not sure how to post the program here or I would. If anyone is interested
then maybe they can show me how to post the program here.
