It's always cool to see older programs like Waxman and Chenard get a second life as Winboard engines. I've been a big fan of the Waxman series of chess games, ever since I cut out a hole in an old issue of Compute! Magazine to buy a DOS version of Waxman some time in the late 80's or early 90's.

Hi Tony,

I remember having tons of fun with Waxman, Chenard, Now, Sargon, and Siberian Chess...
