Apples, Oranges, IBMers, etc. etc. What about HP
versions of chess?
Mildly off-=thread, but there's a mini-chess (5*5 oard, each player has
king, queen, bishop, knight, rook and 5 pawns, no castling, no en passant
capture) for the HP41 calculator (!). I think it meeds a CV (or a C with
3 RAM moudles?) and will print the board on the HP41 thermal printer.
It's hardly a good player, but it's impressive (to me) that it could be
done at all).
