This is a link post The Kilobyte’s Gambit 1k chess game I made this!
I combined a ridiculously tiny chess engine with lovely pixel art of The Queen’s Gambit to make a surprisingly challenging little game.

Don’t get too upset if it kicks your arse…

This is a normal post I managed to get it to a stalemate where it kept making the same checking moves, but no wins so far
not stalemate, oops, but a draw / repetition rule

This is a normal post I did a win!
It took about 20 goes though. Losing 19-1 isn't a good look.

This is a normal post I've seen worse chess computers that'd be a lot bigger than 1k
the ones you get on plane inflight entertainment spring to mind. Though on the second run I had a closed position which it didn't seem to be programmed for, and just moved its rook around ineffectually while I built some overblown attacking position on the right at my leisure. Be nice if she took her blouse off when you win, but 1k's not a lot to play with

This is a normal post Well she kicked my arse.
Not that I know what I’m doing in chess anyway, so that’s hardly a surprise.

I beat it with the Danish Gambit after a few goes. Took a while telling pawns and bishops apart once the game opened up which made me do a few cock ups but apart from that it's great.

I'd like to see a black and white / greyscale version.
