Once upon a time I was a little boy with a new Commodore 64 computer, and a chess program called Colosus Chess 4 by M. Bryant. Ohh i remember one time when I had a position and let the computer run for a whole day and it reached 1 million nodes - I was impressed, a million nodes on a 1Mhz 6502 - how could I ever beat this kind of monster ! Now fastforward to the new millenium and present day. I was jus looking for some fun for my Palm Tungsten C and I could have downloaded NAUMChess for palm(quite nice, is it being developed anymore ?? ) or some of the commercial programs - but whats the fun in that. At some undefined point in time my googling found this http://frodopalm.sourceforge.net/ and then this http://www.c64unlimited.net Suddenly my EFR(Extreme Fun Radar) went off, could colossus be there ? Browsing around and yep, its there(and some other chessprograms) ! Its there and works smoothly on Frodo ! So my advice to others : download frodo and try some of the old but not forgotten chess programs, you will have fun and its cheap :)
