YChess,

a family of chess programs by Roman Antonczyk, early Postcardware MS-DOS versions from the mid 90s running on 386 PCs with VGA or SVGA graphics cards. DOS Version 1.09, as available in the Internet Archive, mentions in its readme file a new command line options to adjust the transposition table size, recapture extensions, and modified passed pawn extensions [1]. The later, no longer available Windows version YChess 1.0 was commercial distributed via the Kagi.com e-commerce micropayment platform [2]. It is a native engine with an own WinBoard and UCI compliant GUI [3] and apparently own endgame tablebases [4].
