That was an old post, but since my reply most likely is long gone, here
goes again.  There are two ftp sites you can check out,
ftp.pitt.edu/group/student-activities/chess and chess.onenet.net
They have programs that run on XT class machines.  Here's a short list of
what you should look for:

NCHESS38    Necromancer 3.8
EDCV230      EdChess 2.30
NOW           NOW Chess (stronger than both above)
MyChess     David Kittinger's program
Psion

There is one that goes by different names of the ZIP file, such as
CHESS.ZIP, CHESSS.ZIP, etc., but these .ZIPs are about 4-5k and unzip to
about a 10k program.  I would stay away from this one, it is rather
user-UNfriendly, and when it exits it doesn't restore your display to 80
columns, rather it leaves it in 40, which forces you to reboot.

Hope this helps.
