Do you remember Gambit soft? The one where kasparov is looking you all the time and when occasion arrives the photo becomes a video and Kasparov make a comment about the game in course. Fascinating and never imitated being, as it is, a great idea for people like me that love to play chess BUT also to get some extra kick from frills like that.
Now, some of you by chance remember the origin of this soft? I think comes from late Don Daily, but not sure about the history of the engine....lot lees I know his strength, though I believe based in my practice that in current hardware is about a 2200 player.

Really good this game. I play it a lot in my android tablet, when I have some time to kill.
It was an Eletronics Art game, and the program was from Julio Kaplan, which had a company called Heuristics Software at the time, and the engine was called Socrates IIRC. From what I heard it was not very successful.
Other DOS software I like a lot is Bob Fischer teaches Chess.
Cheers

Full history I found in a place in Spanish, including the manual.

Yes, he talks too much when he warns us we are doomedCompDad wrote:Yes you are absolutely right, Don Dayley and Larry Kaufman are the authors of the program.
They created Komodo 20 years later.
Back to Gambit, after two matches I've just played, I start to think that Kasparov talks to much
Muting Kasparov regards
