I probably wasn't clear about what I meant, sorry, here's an example, the board
from MSCP found at: ftp://caissa.onenet.net/pub/chess/Unix/ but compiled for Dos


This is MSCP 1.0 (Marcel's Simple Chess Program)
Type 'help' for a list of commands

8  r n b q k b n r
7  p p p p p p p p
6  - - - - - - - -
5  - - - - - - - -
4  - - - - - - - -
3  - - - - - - - -
2  P P P P P P P P
1  R N B Q K B N R
   a b c d e f g h
1. White to move. KQkq

See, what I'm talking about is that very simple array type of board, just that
here's my program, you don't get anything fanci approach, take it or leave type
of thing. John Stanback's SCP is much like that, found at the same unix ftp, it
might be my favorite bare bones Chess program.

I like Pierre allot too. That compiles up without a hitch as a Dos program, not
as strong as the one that you compiled for WB of coarse, but I don't lump it in
with these bare bones programs because it can use WB & Xboard. I expect Pierre
to become much stronger.
