The Kilobyte’s Gambit 1k chess game
I adapted an impressive 1.25KB chess engine to remove display code and get it down to 1024 bytes, then created a separate interface using pixel art of The Queen’s Gambit. It won’t win any tournaments, but if you’re a chess novice brace yourself for a challenge.
You can click Info/How It Works to view the source code and find out more about the two talented people who were kind enough to give me permission to build on their work.

Very cool. I lost 10 times in a row thanks to those gigantic eyes and definitely not my complete lack of skill in the game.

I’m a novice and I can’t beat it! Fun though, it’s felt like I got better against it at least. Went from losing because my position was a mess to losing because I didn’t see that bishop which always feels like an improvement.
