Not to knock Mr. Horne's achievement, but Peter Jennings wrote Microchess for the KIM-1 (a 6502-based machine with 1K of RAM) back in 1976. Source code here: http://users.telenet.be/kim1-6502/microchess/microchess.html http://users.telenet.be/kim1-6502/microchess/microchess.html I had the PET 2001 version (running in 7K of RAM) back in the day, and it played quite well, all things considered.

  To actually run that on the PC I'm using right now, I would presumably need to also download an emulator for the machine it was designed for, which is presumably larger than 1K. Just saying.
