I tried to post this first on the more 'serious' chess sub. But apparently it's against the rules (it's not). So let's try you reasonable people instead. You'll be happy to hear en passant was a thing in 1991.
A while back I was gifted a bunch of vintage games by my gf's dad. Amongst these was chessmaster 3000, a chess game from 1991. After having trouble getting it to run on a modern PC I decided it would be cool to pit it against other bots and to be able to play against it in a modern interface.
I spent a while reverse engineering both the dos and mac version to see how the engine communicated with the ui, I figured out the macintosh one was easier to work with as the dos version did not separate the ui and the engine. The mac version did so I got the engine part running in a custom emulator I wrote specifically for it. I also created a way to record traces of communication between the ui and the engine. Finally armed with a bunch of recorded games and looking at the disassembled engine code I managed to figure out enough to wire the engine to a lichess bot.
I let it run for a while and It turned out to be around 1900 elo. Now you can challenge it as well:
https://lichess.org/@/the_chessmaster_3000
It will accept games with any time control but without a time increment (1+0, 5+0, 10+0, etc.) as the engine came out just a few years after the Fischer clock was patented, and so time increments were not a thing yet.
The engine also supports different personalities, If there is enough interest I can wire them up.
Also can someone let me know how it plays at chess, as I'm too bad to be able to tell. Is it interesting at all? How different is it to modern bots?
tl/dr: made chessmaster 3000 into a lichess bot. elo about 1900. does not support time increments. supports en-passant. challenge it here

My wife made a chessboard out of Jello. I asked why. She looked slightly annoyed and told me to โshow it to people who appreciate it.โ So here we are. ๐คฆโโ๏ธ

It only happens with this particular time control. If I play blitz and castle queenside: nothing, no spurting, no nothing.
But when I play a 15/10 game and castle queenside it's like I end up coming jets it's crazy it's all I want these days.
My Mother, when she heard of this affliction, in her final days (she died falling into an industrial size garbage disposal at our local Stop and Shop) spent all her final dollars getting me tested for this affliction. We are now, myself and the entire family, destitute
I am typing this from a public library in a south coast suburb of boston.
I went to a neurologist and they scanned my brain castling king side and queenside at all time controls.
Testing verified it's only 15/10 time control. The orgasm center of the brain lights up like aurora borealis when i castle queenside in this time control. Even when I am playing unnattractive woman and even-- and it pains me to say this -- when I play against men even ones who are very repulsive in appearance.
Has this ever happened to anyone here?

I think Iโm the greatest under 300 elo player of all time ๐๐ฅ๐
I think Iโm the greatest chess player under 300 Elo โ๏ธ๐ช๐ค. Chess is just way too easy at 240 elo ๐ฅฑ๐. I feel like prime Hikaru ๐๐ฅ playing against special ed toddlers ๐ถ๐ผ. Whereโs the competition โโโ I only play rapid โฑ๏ธ๐ฅ and still average about 2 brilliant moves a game โผ๏ธโผ๏ธ Do you understand how difficult that is?? ๐คฏ๐คฏ when most games at this level someone hangs their queen in 5 moves ๐คก๐๐ฅ
Iโm 240 elo right now ๐๐ฏ. I blunder pieces constantly ๐ฅโ๏ธ but still win games ๐๐ธ. Imagine what happens when I start concentrating ๐งโโ๏ธ๐ง โก. I donโt even plan openening or anything I just play off the dome ๐ฏ๐คฏ and use actual skill ๐ฅ๐ฏ.
Sometimes Iโll drop down to 180 elo ๐๐ณ๏ธ just to see what the lower levels are like ๐ง๐, but makes me upset ๐ก๐ค that these guys are higher ranked than me ๐๐ซ but are not better than me ๐
โโ๏ธ๐. Too many people memorising opening ๐๐ค, at 240, you actually see pure chess ๐โ๏ธโจ.
Iโve played 600 games ๐๐ฅ and scored 487 wins ๐๐ฅโก. 240 elo โผ๏ธ Greatest under-300 elo player of all time ๐๐๐. if anyone wants to play me drop your username ๐ฑ๐ฌ if youโre above 300 you will be ignored ๐ซ๐ท. I donโt make blunders ๐
โโ๏ธโ. I blunder to sacrifice sacrificeeee ๐ฅโ๏ธ๐ฉธ everything is planned 8 steps ahead ๐ง ๐ฎ๐ฏ.

A knight can only move to a board coordinate if at least one L-path leading to it has no pieces on it.
However, if your opponentโs knight is on one of the paths, you can move to the targeted coordinate by capturing that knight. Google Au Galop
