If you were interested in computer chess during the 1990s, you may remember
WAXMAN, a no-nonsense alternative to the commercial chess software
of the day: no 3-D chessboard, no animated chessmen in medieval armor,
no built-in spell checker, yes chess! That program still exists,
and you can download the 2020 version
here.
As before, the feature set is minimal. WAXMAN plays chess, solves
chess problems, and saves, loads and prints games -- with diagrams.
WAXMAN is completely self-contained. There are no external files
to install. Everything, including a library of opening moves, is built
into the executable file that you can put in any folder you want.
