If you use tablebases, you should leave them on an uncompressed area. Other than that, a chess-playing program shouldn't really be affected (reading in moves from an opening book should be fast enough that it is irrelevant, unless your program is playing 200 moves per minute on a chess server or something). Obviously, the performance of a chess database program running on a compressed disk is a whole different story (potentially an ugly one!) Dave
