I want to pay tribute to Marty Hirsch, the pioneer who revolutionized chess programs.

This time in an e-book:
Image

To know him nothing better than what was written about him in those early 90s, advertising, photos

Image

-some manuals of their programs on PDF
Image

-his games. And to see/analyze them nothing better than the tools of those years: ChessBase 4.0 with the tactical analyst Fritz 2

Image

and, above all, their programs

Image

Image

And on a computer from that time, a 486 to 25 MHz emulated by MAME.
Image

Marty in his early days released a new version every week or two. He even recognized MChess - 75 commercial versions! Putting them all together is (almost) impossible, but if I want to present the ones I have, since v1.06

Image

to MChess Pro 8

If you have different versions, you're welcome to them.

Interesting ...I see in one of the advertising pics it credits Mchess (along with the 386/ 486/Pentium processors) as marking the end of the dedicated chess computer era and the shift to PC Engines

if this is true then I shall be deleting this thread shortly ….

J/K Regards
Steve
