The first time I tried it was on AT without ANSI.SYS. By seeing the ESC
sequences that was clear for me that I had to install it.

After you message I tried again on my XT monochrom 512K (no TSR: I check
it with NORTON SI reporting 457 Kbytes free). It always crashes and 
sometimes with the message PARITY CHECK 1 00000 (S) !!!

The other attempt was on an Amstrad 1512 640K CGA. It also crashes but
without Parity error.

Both crashes are at the beginning. I tried from the diskette (low density
prepared on the XT and running on the AT) and from the hard disks.

Note: the version of gnuchess.zip I have is from the News (not from ftp).
