Good evening my favourite Patreon people.

I was bored the other night and so decided to pit 1K Chess on the ZX81 vs. a couple of modern chess engines to see the outcome.

Here is the result.

CHESS: 1981 1KB Computer vs. Modern PC | Nostalgia Nerd

The game of chess is an ancient one, dating back to sometime around the 6th century. While the Sinclair ZX81 isn't quite that old, it is now 37 years old. Standard ZX81 models came with only 1KB of RAM, but somehow David Horne managed to squeeze a playable chess game into that space. The question is, can 1K ZX81 chess compete with a more modern chess engine, in this computer vs computer chess game. ** For exclusive videos, mystery boxes and other rewards, please consider supporting me at; https://www.patreon.com/nostalgianerd?ty=h ** ☟Sharing☟ If you wish to share this video in forums, social media, on your website, *please do so*!

Great video Pete, I was rooting for the Sinclair as well :P I used to program for a 4k Commodore PET, and eventually learned machine code to be able to make it do more complex stuff. I remember precisely 0% of how to do this all these years later, but remember that it was almost impossible as there was no debugging! PS: I should be in that list of $10+ subscribers - but I only recently joined so perhaps its not been added to your list yet - I think the payments comes out around the 1st of each month. Cheers!
