This is a installation TAS of "The Chessmaster 4000 Turbo" in BizHawk to whomever might need it.

Step 1. Create w311.hdd

Use the steps outlined at this time of writing under the "Windows 3.11" tab here to create the HDD image containing Windows 3.11.

Step 2. Find the floppy disk version of "The Chessmaster 4000 Turbo”

I used .img files with the following hashes:

File	MD5 hash	SHA-1
disk1.img	c07c1ace953d75a4460d7e9c737ba155	8c184381654899d8433db38737ddd9a64e2b1e38
disk2.img	81dad76b2c108159e9cc01beecf2a14a	8377198bdfda21afc942f232a6e0b5f7673f22e5
disk3.img	2cbad43397e6e537bf554915de15071a	4943839b8b0280ec7cd2c7d794589f7c119eccbb

Step 3. Play the installation TAS

First, create a .conf file with the following text:

[autoexec]

cd windows
win a:/setup.exe

Save it as "Chessmaster 4000 Install.conf" and then, load an XML file into Bizhawk 2.11 with this content:

<BizHawk-XMLGame System="DOS" Name="Chessmaster 4000 Install">
  <LoadAssets>
    <Asset FileName="./w311.hdd" />
    <Asset FileName="./Chessmaster 4000 Install.conf" />
    <Asset FileName="./Chessmaster 4000 Turbo, The/disk1.img" />
    <Asset FileName="./Chessmaster 4000 Turbo, The/disk2.img" />
    <Asset FileName="./Chessmaster 4000 Turbo, The/disk3.img" />
  </LoadAssets>
</BizHawk-XMLGame>

Then, run this installation TAS.

Upon completion, export the HDD as "Chessmaster 4000.hdd" The installation should install the game, switch the display to S3 Trio(...) 640x480 64k and then change the layout to Plain and Simple before closing Windows. The installation should do it in the 1993 preset.
