Chess on the HP-200LX Message #1 Posted by Xerxes on 11 Sept 2009, 9:16 a.m. Looking for the best chess program for the HP-100LX/200LX/1000CX, I've tried out many old DOS programs for compatibilty and playing strength. The result of many test games and chess problems is: Two well playing and nice programs are Psion Chess 2.13 and Rex Chess. For these programs [ON] + [/] is required for correct colour representation of pieces and squares. The estimated playing strength of both is USCF Class B level. But there is also an outstanding program with the best user interface and display representation, most features and clearly the strongest play: Fritz 2.51 with an estimated playing strength of USCF Class A level. The three mentioned programs are downloadable for free at http://www.top-5000.nl/cp.htm.
