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.
