Rod, these are 2 small no-install chess games, maybe not what you are looking for.

Aug 26 1990:
Here is version 1.0 of my MicroSoft Windows port of GNUCHESS 3.1. This is
the alpha test version. I would like people to try it out and if you find
a repeatable bug please E-mail what causes it and what happens. In a month
or so I will post the source. I need to clean up any major bugs and add the
GNU copywrite notice.
release notes:
1) I have only tested this under windows 3.0 386 enhanced mode.
2) It requires at least 282k of memory.
4) Most of the GNUCHESS commands are implemented.
5) When computer is playing itself abort by clicking on any square.
The last move made will most likely show "draw" or "mate", ignore
this message. You may have to remove the last move.
6) To have the computer think while it is your turn, select "easy"
from the menu. Clicking on square to take your turn will abort
the look ahead.
7) There is no help file.
8) The file gnuchess.boo must be in the same directory as
the executable.
9) The program create a file "chess.ini" in your windows directory to
store various settings. Currently only the screen colors.

GNU Chess 4.14 for Windows, June 16, 1997
This is a port of GNU Chess to the Win32 environment. The program requires
Windows 3.1 or later and a 386 or higher processor. To run it under
Windows 3.1 requires the Win32s 32-bit extender, which is available free
from many FTP sites including ftp.microsoft.com in
Softlib/MSLFILES/PW1118.exe. Win32s is not required and should not be
installed on Windows 95 systems. If GNU Chess will not run in Windows 3.1,
it is probably because Win32s has not been successfully installed. A 32-bit
version which runs under Windows 3.1 without Win32s will probably be
available shortly.

They came up on some links recently published in ACF for old programs. Sorry, no
direct link.
