    French Coder Creates Smallest Game: Boot Chess

    All races back in the day was the first and amazing to explain how they go about getting misty-eyed and in a desperate attempt to share with young people is an irresistible desire certain things. no doubt today for the first time he teleported school or a holographic call, but a select and fortunate few, this is so, using 1K of memory that can program a chess game and surprise surprise call it something like that to realize 1K chess "greatest program ever written".

    1kchess
    The ZX81 was to play chess because only 1K 1K ZX was called, ZX81 basic unexpanded version of a mass of RAM memory 1K (1,024 bytes) had. By today's standards, our terabyte hard drives, it may seem absurd, but with 1,024 bytes, 16K RAM pack and even get me started on 3D Monster Maze is not surprising how much fun can be had provoking. Chess 1K bytes of code using 672, with room to spare ZX81 managed to fit in a game of chess.

    To put this into perspective, saved as a text file, this small article will be 2,339 bytes. Britain's David Horne coder that coded in less than a chess game, and this is the most beautiful ever produced, is one of the beautiful things is no exaggeration to say. It's a chess board, including the (most of) the rules and not even a very good opponent, had to play against a computer opponent, but what you expect for 672 bytes?

    Buy original audio cassette ZX81 and ZX81 Chess for free to the shops was released in 1982, but since the code was published in the magazine and your computer by line, line by typing can be run on your computer. It is only 672 bytes, it is also that it did not take long to type.

    1K ZX for 33 years small-sized chess computer chess program was conducted for the trophy, but the coder of France in January 2015 Oliver Poudade 487 bytes of code using only beat it by BootChess.

    What we really need to do BootChess 1K ZX play chess and see who wins.
