I had an old monochrome TRS-80 with 4K of memory. This was in the late 70s. I doubt you could write any chess program then in 4K, but maybe somebody managed it. My next computer was an IBM PC with 64K in 1983 and I ran Sargon III on it. BTW, does anyone know whether you can get Sargon III to work in a DOS shell on Windows 98? I was hoping to run it against my program manually to see if my program could actually play at that old level (which by the way was stronger than I am). KarinsDad :)
