Subject: Chess stuff

With all the chess on TV, I decided to dig out my old copy of MicroPower chess  
and give it a go.

My feelings were somewhat mixed when after about four games I started to thrash  
it quite regularly! Previously it ALWAYS beat me, so I've obviously got better  
:-), but it does mean that my BBC isn't much of a challenge :-(.

I remember hearing very good things about "White Knight II" (OK its hardly  
state of the art, but I'm really not very good). Does anyone know where I could  
get a copy ;-) ?

In the mean time I've been playing round writing a BBC ICS client! Once I've  
drawn the icons I should have a mouse driven chess board, which I can then  
interface to ICS/gnuchess or whatever via a serial line to a Unix. If this is  
of interest to anyone then I'll pass it on.
