Hi Gerold,

There are many sites hosting abandonware games. For example:

http://free-game-downloads.mosw.com/abandonware/pc/board_games_h/

http://www.agrreviews.com/modules/mydownloads/singlefile.php?lid=63

As for CM2100, there is nothing special to start it. Just unzip (unrar)
the file, and double-click 2100.exe. That's all. But the graphic is not very
exciting after looking at today's chess programs :-), and there's no mouse
- just the keyboard.
