Power Chess 2.0?

[Dr.Joy Tomeh]

Tow months ago I met the very strong GM Anton Korobov (who is also a very nice person by the way) and we spoke about computer chess among other things. I showed him the best game I ever played which was against WChess engine (Power Chess) and he was astonished by the game to the point he asked me a copy of it with the possibility of publishing it. This meeting reminds me about that nice chess program and I tried to reinstall it on my 2 laptops with Windows 7 and Windows XP in vain.the program is not compatible with neither of them. I tried searching the internet for a solution and was shocked to read that there is a version 2.0 of this amazing program released in 1999

I have Power Chess 2.0 by Sierra. It is the same as Power Chess 98. My understanding is that the 98 and 95 versions did not always run smoothly so Sierra produced version 2.0. Nothing significantly new here, alas.

You can run Power Chess 98 in Windows XP via Virtualpc 2007 with Virtualpc service patch 1, Windows 98 or 95 vhd, and an image of the original Power Chess 98, so they say.
