Was it called MChess because his name is Marty?

SSDF list has MChess Pro 8 K6-2 450 MHz 2483. Probably GM level at todays 5 Ghz prosessor. Does it run under W11?

MChess is pure DOS and I think the last Windows with MSDOS was 3.1.
I have asked him to port MChess to Windows a long time ago and you see it was not possible. I wish Marty all the best.

You can run DOS programs under Windows in an emulator. The best for games is DOSBox. Others you could use: vDos, FreeDOS (inside a virtual machine), NTVDM (requires 32 bit Windows - so Windows 10 or lower).
Human chess is partly about tactics and strategy, but mostly about memory
