Necromancer...

Post by Fernando »

There is a 1991 program, Necromancer, produced by a company called necromancer software system. The gui is like that of turbochess, very ugly. No clue about the programmer, nothing. I am curious. Someone know something? Did not find nothing in Internet.

Hi Fern, good morning all,

a pic to illustrate:

Strength insight at 15secs/move: in my private ranking list, after32 games played (which is not stabilized enough): 1930 Computer Elo (Fidelity Excellence = 1780) running on a 80486SX @33Mhz (DosBox emulated); that should be around 1840 FIDE Elo.
I tracked B. Oatman as the author (but I don't remember where did I find this information).
Cheers,
Eric

There is a B. Oatman that plays in chess. com, but nothing else. Could be the same guy, now old as me or more.

Digging regards
