Rexchess doesn't run on todays computers because they are too fast.
One of the first things rexchess did was measure the speed of the
computer, because it had a function to simulate a specified ELO playing
strength. You could for example set it to play 1700 strength and it
would adjust it's level accordingly. These ran on DOS machines.
But that calculation involved a division, and we didn't expect
computers to get so fast that the calculation would complete in less
than 1/18 of a second, which I believe was the initial resolution of the
timer we used. So one day I tried running it and it crashes.
Have you tried running it in DOSBox? It has several features to slow
down the DOS emulation to enable playing of very old games.
