I noticed that the Covid lockdown had made streaming of chess games very popular and did a search to see if I could find the source of one in C. The first one I found was actually C++ (cout << is a bit of a giveaway!) but I found this one by a developer called Tom Kerrigan. It runs from the command line and the exe is just 157 KB in size.

Note it is copyrighted but he has put his source code out there so if you are interested in seeing how a chess program is written this is an excellent place to start. His code also includes a lot of comments and includes an opening book.
