EdChess, (Ed Chess, Ed's Chess, Chess!)
a shareware chess program for the IBM PC, released in 1992 by EdTech Associates Inc. running under DOS.
The program has been developed by David Hendricks supported by John T. Bell [1]
over a period of three years, written entirely with Aztec C 4.1d
[2].
EdChess features a semigraphics board, drawing squares and pieces using IBM's special character set,
and applies alpha-beta within an iterative deepening loop.
