- CurtMonash 12y agoJust tried the 2 KB (fast) version as White. Trapped Black's queen on my 7th move. Mate took 20 moves or so total.
- jamesbrownuhh 12y agoOf course 30 years ago there was "1K Chess" for the Sinclair ZX81 (Timex/Sinclair 1000 for US readers) - which, despite the name, was actually just 672 bytes of code. (The program had to run in a machine with 1K of memory _total_, which obviously included space for the machine's workspace and display file - itself ingeniously optimised to only occupy memory space for parts of the screen that had been printed on.) https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/1K+ZX+Chess https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/1K+ZX+Chess
