ke4 is the funet archive shorthand for Knight Edit v1.4, a Macintosh chess-notation program rather than a chess engine. It is a small utility for entering, editing, and replaying chess games in standard notation, of the kind that proliferated as shareware on the Mac in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
What it does
Knight Edit is a notation editor: load or type a game in algebraic notation, step through it move-by-move on an on-screen board, and save or print the resulting score sheet. It is aimed at study and correspondence play rather than at playing against the computer.
Identification
The funet games index identifies the file plainly: "ke4.sit — Knight Edit v1.4, chess notation program." The cryptic slug ("ke" for Knight Edit, "4" for the version) is typical of the eight-character filename conventions of pre-1995 Mac shareware distribution.
Preservation context
Knight Edit has no surviving Macintosh Garden or MobyGames entry; the funet mirror's "games/" subtree appears to be the principal extant copy. It is preserved here as a .sit StuffIt archive.
This file is part of the MacTrove archive. See the Thank You page for the upstream mirrors we rely on. It is a StuffIt/Compact Pro archive — use The Unarchiver to extract it.
