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:
“It’s a great huge game of chess that’s being played—all over the world—if this is the world at all, you know. Oh, what fun it is! How I wish I was one of them! I wouldn’t mind being a Pawn, if only I might join—though of course I should like to be a Queen, best.”
—Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)
