Me gusta mucho este juego, el ajedrez te hace pensar en cómo lidiar con la caída del pelo, tienes que preguntar al tablero de ajedrez y escuchar la inevitable calvicie crónica. ¡Muchas gracias

What seems like a fairy tale today may become a reality tomorrow. Here we have a fairy tale the day after tomorrow.... It is possible that we can grow hair on our heads that become bald from the thought of chess....we asked for an explanation but satisfying answers did not came.... I hope the dear admin does not delete my comment, because what I am saying is a fact, without intending to offend any party. Thank you

I think chess is in coins. Humans forever play in one face. Now I'm playing on another face: "Antichess". Computers are like fortres where the owner forgets to close the small door at the back. You must enter through this door. Forget the front, but I forgot the side door, and in the end I chose to breed donkeys, oh it's so beautiful

He who owned the original disk back in the day ,was a god.It really was the beginning of chess era ,but it was a game made with passion and intelligent ideas never seen at that time.There were moves written on paper by the gamers ,and then shared between each other to a cup of coffee.There were matches between people so intense ,that everyone was shocked in very good way.Glad this piece of history never died. Abandonware thank you from deepest heart.

Best chess program ever. Why is the best? Because there is something in this interface... I play on Level 3 (60/10) and it kicks my ass hard!

My childhood comes back!!! I loved this game!!! It was my first chess game in a 286 with hercules amber monitor!
One nice feature is the opening tree.
When it started, there was an audio from the buzzer saying "I am the chessmaster, wanna play?"
