Subject: Chess problem solver for CP/M
Hello there,
recently I found out about spreading news around via Internet News, so here
is what I want to post.
A few years ago I developed a program for solving chess problems of the
mate-in-N-moves kind.
Actually, I did not develop it entirely. The program is based on an old
program written for the Sinclair ZX81.
Nonetheless, I put some work into this program to make it run nice and sweet
under CP/M, and I think it's a cinch to use.
What the program requires is :
- Turbo Pascal 3.0 ( v2.0 and 1.0 might work, too - I don't know )
Don't be afraid, the solving routines are written in machine language.
The user interface is written in Pascal.
I think that's it. The machine language routines are written in Z80 code,
so a Zilog Z80 CPU is required, but since Turbo Pascal requires this chip
as well, this is no further restriction.
Anyone interested ?
If so, please send me a mail, and in replay I'll send you the source files
via mail.
Currently, no english document file exists, but if there's some response
this file can be created easily.
