Taking ideas is not a vice, it is a virtue. We have another word for this. It is called learning.
But sharing ideas is an even greater virtue. We have another word for this. It is called teaching.
But I am more interested in the CrayBlitz version I posted. Would be great to create a winboard compatible version that emulates the speed of the Cray at that times.
Anyone know how you enter the moves? No matter what way I enter it, it responds the move is illegal.
It asks me if it should play white, no matter if I enter "Y" or "YES" it tells me it's my move.
Then when I enter a move like d4 or d2-d4 it tells it's illegal. I also tried Nf3 but it said it was illegal too.

if you play white, it actually is your move If you play black, you have to say "go".
Moves are done by short notation: e4, Pe4 or e2e4 should work.
Does this thing calculate under windows or also play instandly?
Ok, well I figured out how to enter the moves but something seems out of whack. I had it play against the old Mephisto Amsterdam (simulator) on my PC and Cray Blitz just blundered one piece after the other. Cray Blitz played white, the moves were
my move 1. d3
your move 1. ... d5
my move 2. Nh3
your move 2. ... Bxh3
my move 3. e3??
your move 3. ... Bf5
my move 4. Be2
your move 4. ... e5
my move 5. Bf3
your move 5. ... Nc6
my move 6. a3
your move 6. ... Nf6
my move 7. b4
your move 7. ... e4
my move 8. a4
your move 8. ... exf3
my move 9. Bb2
your move 9. ... Bxb4+
my move 10. Nd2
development completed.
your move 10. ... fxg2
my move 11. d4
d4 opening recognized.
I quit here since it was pretty obvious that something is not working correctly
