Spencer,

First you say the game was loaded and then you say it "never loaded." Can't have 
it both ways. :)

If you will post the specific chess program, we can test it with DW3. However, 
what likely happened is that the game contains its own disk I/O routines that 
hard code floppy drive0 and bypass the Drivewire routines.
If that is the case, the game will not work with Drivewire unless someone 
patches the game.
