Similar here. The KIM-1 was my entry to programming. So simple and understandable. I still remember some of the opcodes, hand-assembling and punching them in was a powerful rote teaching method. Obviously I had some nerd in me if I thought it was easy to understand. IMHO every programmer should spend some time coding this close to the metal.
The chess game that fit in 1K was a goood example of what someone smarter than me could do, too.
Thanks Chuck! We’ll raise a toast to you as we close out the year.
