Subject: Recommend chess program?
|
Hi all. The Rebel decade program used to say what plays were being made,
when you played against it, like "Caro Kann", "Sicilian" etc. Unfortunately,
it doesnt run onWindows XP. Are there any other fairly strong chess programs
that run on Windows, that can call plays in this fashion, as you are
playing? Are any of these programs free software?
Thanks for any info.

I installed Virtual Box
and run Rebel for DOS
(after installing DOS 6.22 within Virtual Box)
It worked out
http://www.ezbsystems.com/ultraiso/index.html
I used ultraiso to get rebel12.iso from rebel12.zip
as this computer does not have a CD-ROM drive.
And I used a dos command called 'xcopy'
to copy all the files and folder in rebel12.iso
to c drive of DOS.
For some reasons, I cannot use mouse within Rebel.
That means I have to try this free mouse drive for dos.
(I could play some moves against Rebel with keyboard.)

I hardly think he'd want to wipe his whole hard drive just so he could
install FreeDos or OpenDos / DR Dos.
He'd be better off installing one of the virtual machines, such as Virtual
PC 2007 (just released), VMWare, Qemu or VirtualBox (which is based on
qemu).
You won't get 100% performance, but it will be 75%+ for cpu bound stuff.
(Qemu has two modes. An emulator mode which emulates the cpu, which lets
you run x86 stuff on other architectures, giving about a 10% performance,
and a 'native' x86 mode which uses a system kernel driver that lets the
program run on the real cpu.)

It is also *very* slow.
It's an interpreter / simulator, and as such it has about a 100 to 1 slow
down.
He could also try Qemu or VirtualBox. Both are emulators that virtualize
the hardware and can run the program on the real cpu. As such, you can get
much closer to normal performance.

Oh, thanks a lot!
I got Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 as a free download.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/downloads/sp1.mspx
I installed VPC on this home computer with Windows XP
(pentium 4 - 2.4 with 1024 RAM)
Then, I installed MS-DOS 6.22 within VPC
and finally installed Rebel12 for DOS.
Well, it worked out. :)

That is a great idea. But unfortunately for me, XP home under SP-2, neither
a Dosbox installation, nor a microsoft Virtual PC one has worked, whether it

Oh, thanks a lot!
I got Microsoft Virtual PC 2004 as a free download.
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtualpc/downloads/sp1.mspx
I installed VPC on this home computer with Windows XP
(pentium 4 - 2.4 with 1024 RAM)
Then, I installed MS-DOS 6.22 within VPC
and finally installed Rebel12 for DOS.
Well, it worked out. :)

DOSBox
Download "Windows 0.65 Win32 installer"
Install it
Run it
when you get a dos prompt, type "mount k c:\rebdec"
(c:\rebdec is where you installed Rebel decade)
type "k:" to chage directory to k
Run rebel decade by typing 'start' or 'rebel'

Chessmaster can do this. I would be surprised if any of the top
software COULDN'T do this.
