1K ZX Chess is a chess-playing computer program for the unexpanded Sinclair ZX81, created by programmer David Horne. The game implements most chess rules (castling, queening, and en passant capture are missing), artificial intelligence, and a user interface. The code uses only 672 bytes of RAM, making this one of the smallest computer implementations of chess.
Famous quotes containing the word chess:
“What have we achieved in mowing down mountain ranges, harnessing the energy of mighty rivers, or moving whole populations about like chess pieces, if we ourselves remain the same restless, miserable, frustrated creatures we were before? To call such activity progress is utter delusion. We may succeed in altering the face of the earth until it is unrecognizable even to the Creator, but if we are unaffected wherein lies the meaning?”
—Henry Miller (1891–1980)
