The classic Psion Chess game, with actual chess pieces on an actual board! Fred stretched Wilf’s routine to give 26 display rows… 24 for the board, and 2 for the input lines, so you have to key your moves in blind… not too much of a handicap, if you’ve played the original. To exit, press DELETE (shift 0) when it’s your turn, followed by STOP (shift A) then ENTER. btw – to get out of Wilf’s high-res mode from immediate mode you can (almost) always get out with PAUSE 0.
