Hi Bryan, Hey, nice link... I fondly remember playing against Colossus Chess 4 on my Sinclair Spectrum - it played a very good game particularly when you bear in mind the hardware it ran on! At that time I also had Cyrus IS Chess, Cyrus II and Superchess 4.5. The first chess program I bought was Artic Computing's ZX Chess which ran on my Sinclair ZX80 with 16Kb RAM pack. Terry
