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.
