Chess

About

Chess on the ZX Spectrum is a no-frills strategic showdown. It pits you against a machine-coded opponent that runs smoothly for its time. The board is rendered in blocky but clear high-resolution graphics. Ten difficulty settings let you start simple or go straight to the grind. Level 2 is already a real test of skill. What sticks is the balance between accessibility and challenge. The code's efficiency was impressive enough to make it a standout title in 1982. While the visuals are basic by modern standards, the sharp AI and straightforward design keep it feeling fresh. Over 40 years later it remains a solid way to sharpen your chess.
