Deprotect for Battle Chess
It was bad enough when we had to hunt for key disks to run
our games from the hard disk. Now I have to hunt for a Chess
game book AND a magnifying glass so I can read the darn thing.
Cynical friends tell me they use the smallest thinnest print font
they can find to make it hard to XEROX to foil those dastardly
software pirates! Maybe so! Maybe it works but it sure makes it
tough on us older fellers who are no longer able to read the
Lords prayer inscribed on the head of a pin!
So a deprotected copy simplifies matters greatly.
It only takes changing 6 bytes in the Chess.EXE file. NOTE
however that they are not all consecutive bytes.

That's It! When the Classic Game Move question comes up;
just hit return and the program continues normally!
These can be done, of course, using DEBUG. Surely most
everyone knows how to use DEBUG by now. If not, there are many
hackers willing to show you and the DOS manual contains a lengthy
section on it. Do you good to learn something new.
