 I remeber the discussion, and i do belive that it is possible to make a
chess game for the ti8x. Ofcorse a good chess player will be able to beat
the calc, but for most people it should be fine. I suggest that you have a
look at the hp program, if you find out how it finds out what to do it
should be easier to make a ti version.
