"1K ZX Chess" is a chess-playing computer program for the unexpanded Sinclair ZX81, created by programmer David Horne. The game implements most chess rules (castling, queening, and en passant capture are missing), artificial intelligence, and a user interface on a computer with only 1K RAM. It is probably the smallest ever implementation of chess on a computer. Microchess for the Kim-1 implemented a full chess in 1K but lacked a graphical user interface.
