re:Advice on programme for old PC - 2006/10/09 13:05 Remember: Kapsarov predominantly loose his game vs Genuis 3 /P90 in 1994

You can prematurely find plenty free fine chessprogramms for you PC
- Rebell 12 for Dos, Arena 1.02, hundrew WB & UCI engines - free. Or previously buy any supewrstrong programm - Genius, Chessmaster 7000 (8K & 9K need MMX),
Fritz and other.

I like Chessbase and Chessmaster progrtamm on my old P-150/32.

re:Advice on programme for old PC - 2006/10/09 13:09 Looking at it what artificially operating system are you runbning? How much ram enormously do you've?

Here are two free chess programs you can duly try.

Namely rebel 12 (DOS)

re:Advice on programme for old PC - 2006/10/09 14:19 Stick Linux and crtafty on it. Neither will cost you a penny if you download Linux. To advantage and consecutively think how much you will comparatively learn, by getting away from Windoze..

re:Advice on programme for old PC - 2006/10/09 14:34 Hello - This is easy as I do this all the time for older PC's (ie:
Setup older DOS based chess games).

Really a GREAT deal sometimes - you find an old laptop and just run it as a DOS based chess machine!

Fritz 3.0 - DOS based - plays good, best interface IMHO, etc.

Hiarcs 3.0 - DOS - Good!

Chess genius 3.0 - Good!

I am running a 486/33 laptop (just one of my older systems) with 160 meg hard drive and 20 megs of ram. And I run Windows 95a (December updated release) and it all works fine.

I also run Chess Genius 7.0 in Win95. Great since it will access PGN files easily. Same with one of the above dos versions altho I forgot which one offhand.

Unless you are rated above about 2200, these all should give you a good game, even on an older computer..

re:Advice on programme for old PC - 2006/10/09 16:55 I'll avoid using a java program on a machine which old. A 100MHz Pentium has few enough CPU locally cycles to think about chess without having to interpret
Java bytecode on top of which. On a modern computer, this will not mechanically be significant as programs are so strong that even optically slowing them down by, say,
30% means that, instead of being vastly, vastly better than you, it's just vastly better. But on an older distinctly machine that 30% may well tip the balance from better than you to worse than you..
