Question for Bart Weststrate ...

Post by Frank Quisinsky »

Good morning Bart,

you know that Jan Lowman gave again and again the information ...
Bart Weststrate is the most talented chess programmer ... many years ago.
Your Kallisto was great and had many fans around the World!
The new DOS 2.0 GUI was also very very nice!

Many years later ...
Tousands of TB new sources are available.
You don't need it ... you have it in your blood.
Information by Jan are 100% sure!

So, the question is ...
Is a new Kallisto in preparation?

Yesterday, I start DOS Box and playing vs. an older Kallisto version.
A beta version Jan gave me, I believe in 1995 ... it was 1.98 (not official).

After I lost vs. your Kallisto I started Anstoss 1 from Ascaron around the year 1992.
With the old football manager I had yesterday more luck.
I was able to stay in the first division with my favorite club Wattenscheid 09, today in League 5,
but next year in League 4 ... very sure!

:-)

Best
Frank

That was all 40 years ago Frank. :) I don't think there will be a new Kallisto. Together with Hans Secelle we do for the fun of it "Single Malt" which is a modern Bionic. Basic language, single core, nothing special.
