(Anonymous) (Unknown) 6th Nov 2012 04:161K 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.
Whilst not quite the first implementation of chess on a home computer it came close - the first was apparently also written within 1K of memory, for the KIM-1 computer.
