This is a version of UChess for systems with less than 4M of
RAM (but >= 2M of RAM). This version requires the full
UChess archive to run, this archive is only a new executeable
designed to run on systems with 2-4 MB of RAM.
You need UChess269.lha or later (full archive) for the
support files required by this pgm.
This version requires a 68020+ processor 2MB or more of RAM,
and KS/WB 2.1 or later. It uses about 1.6 MB or so of RAM,
so make sure you have at least that much contiguous RAM
available before you run the program.
It may not play very sound chess on slow systems, the pgms
algorithms have been tuned to expect at least 2k nodes/sec
and make heavy use of hash and cache tables, which are
very small in this version of the code.
On an A1200 with no FAST RAM, you would want to give the machine
1 min - 1 min 20 sec avg per move for a 1/2 decent game,
with FAST RAM about 30-40 secs per move avg, at least.
Below is an example startup-sequence you may wish to include
in a boot floppy for this pgm, you may want to boot from
floppy to be sure the pgm has the max amount of RAM available
when it runs, if you have less than 3 MB of RAM total.

archive.
