Microchess was fun to play, but didn't play very well.  It was so
focused on capturing pieces.  Several times I put Microchess in a
situation where it could choose between checkmating me and capturing
one of my pieces -- usually Microchess would then choose to capture my
piece !!!!!!!!!

Sargon played much better - I rarely won against Sargon.

Battle Chess, which someone else here mentioned, of course had
entertaining graphics but also played chess horribly, somewhat
like Microchess.  I never played Battle Chess on an Apple II
though, only on a PC.
