Subject: RChess 2.2.2: Free humorous, beatable chess program

Fills a market gap, by being easily beaten at its lower levels.
Unkind people have suggested that this feature applies at the
higher levels too. Usually beats its programmer on level 4,
often on level 3, and occasionally on level 2. Is given away
free, gratis, without charge, and for nothing. Nor are you
required to pay for it. Examines up to 1500 moves per second on
LCIII; up to 3600 per second on Quadra 650. The natural awe
with which naive people regard these numbers should be tempered
by the fact that most of the moves examined are stupid ones that
no human player would contemplate at all.
