Yes... Grandmaster Chess might be looking for a specific ini file because I installed Windows 3.11 on top of DOS and it was asking for a missing ini file. Because it could not find a missing ini file I was not able to see all the options and stuffs in the Windows until I installed it in the right directory. So this could be your problem? So much can go wrong.

Bad reputation however for adults and wise people like you who knows to look for a good buy when you see it then it is really a matter of taking good care of what you have. You see... HP is trying really hard to recover from that blow with cheap prices. You get to use it almost like a MacBook Pro except it doesn't have the Mac side to it. I am stupid because I got scammed by my cousin who ask for 2 of my laptops when he already has enough stuffs of his own. So that's what I get for being trustworthy. I'm not complaining. It is just that I got ripped off when I should have been more careful. My point is you are right... the MacBook Pro is a better buy than the plastic HP. However I don't have the cash or money in any form to buy it unless I eat out of the trash! In fact I eat all my welfare money because my mother tells me I do# That is a good thing since I am growing and healthy 43 year old croaking young man. Anyways I saw a few COA and sealed Win3.11 for under $40 except they say it is not guaranteed delivery. Sigh!!! Now I am still waiting for Q+bert and it says shipped but when I do not know it will arrive if ever. Now you could imagine the embarrassment my mom must have and you know she is embarrass when her son still lives with her and plays Q+bert in the corner of the house. So now that I got you all confused I hope you keep a good head on your shoulder and always question yourself with "Is this person a good person? Can I trust what this person says and do? Or will it lead me down fatal paths like the guy/gal that died in Mortal Kombat and was trapped for a while actually forever hehe

Being on welfare I cannot afford a MacBook Pro that is made of aluminum! I can only afford a cheap laptop to do the basics with. It only cost like $200 USD that any family can afford. Get what you pay for.
Just like today I cannot afford Win3.11 because my mother tells me either Snapple flavored drink or Win3.11. Being a diabetic I don't get much sugar so I chose Snapple yummy yummy

If you knew the cost of living here... and the costs of the products... here gives more emphasis to indirect taxes than direct taxes... for the bad luck of the most disadvantaged classes...   
I think you should give preference to good and reliable brands.  I always do this to avoid headache and more expenses with maintenance and repair of computer products.

The failed HDD may cause the disk drive to be unrecognized. The HDD will “disappear” in the Operating System, and only being detected in BIOS setup. If the failure is in the main HDD, then I would not know how to answer. |

Well..... I found it. An old forum that I used to be on still keeps a copy. I only saw 3 parts to it and rar it up. It should be in DOS. Just in case the previous program has copyright concerns you know I am allowing use of my software. The one on mediafire might be a little complicated. And so is mine. So take your pick. hehe

Just when I want something I couldn't find it. I need a disc organizer. Well I am too lazy to even organize my one thousand discs. It always end up being the last discs. Anyways if you really want my software someone on chess dot com should have it. I released it many years ago. However mine is very simple compared to the AI of this one I just presented! This one is also for DOSBox from the label.

However chess games glitches are common. Somehow I got chessmaster status for 2 or 3 games and could never achieve it again.
I have a chess game somewhere in dos that was never widely realized. However I'll look for it. It is only for 2 players though so you need to play with someone.
I am putting my foot in my mouth since I am lazy and I don't want to look through a thousand disks again!
You'll have to try to figure out the instructions because I don't remember.

Well I could not find the one that I worked on. However for the time being you can play Rebel Decade. They do ask you to donate however I sent money in a Vietnamese New Years envelope to them once and they sent it back. This is one of my favourite games. It is well done in my opinion.

PS: I did manage to save a game (out of the blue that one) but loading the same game is not working, rendering the save game feature as useful as a car made of french fries.
