Check, and, mate — sucka! ZX-81 has released the first playable version of PSP GNU Chess. There isn’t really much else to say, other than good luck trying to beat its A.I. ZX-81 confesses, “I don’t know if the ‘you win’ message is displayed properly, but the ‘you lose’ is well printed.” And that it is; I can also confirm. So if you have Peter Breschnev skills ($20 PayPal to whomever knows that reference), let us know whether or not “you win” works. ;)

GNU Chess is command line Chess program running on many different systems such as UNIX, windows or MacOS. It was started in 1986 by Stuart Cracraft, who is continuing to develop it with other coders such as Chua Kong Sian, Stuart Cracraft, Lukas Geyer, Simon Waters and David A. Wheeler.
PSP Gnu Chess use the GNU Chess version 5.07 for the Artificial Intelligence, and I’ve added a Graphical User Interface.

whats the difference between this and Xadrez?
-TKG
Xadrez had no AI.
whoops, sorry, it does, just crappy AI. this has unbeatable AI… lol
Wasn’t that guy in the Saved by the Bell chess tournament.
haha, yeah, that’s right. Is that an educated guess or a google guess? ;)
give me your paypal (email if you like). You were first.
Yes it was the Russian exchange student in Saved by the bell, he beat screech.
Peter Breschnev is one of the world best chess players :)
now, how do you send me 20$?
xD
Thumbs up for your ideas which things could be ported to this system.
as i remember.. zack locks this guy in the cupboard n dresses as him…..and plays screech in the chess match in the hope that screech would win.. but in fact it backfired…zack got screech on checkmate, even tho he dident know what he was doing…. also the guy he locked up comes jumping out still tied up ;)
HOLY CRAP!!!! I jsut beet the FUggin AI!!!!! OMGGGGGGGGGG…..DUDE 357 games and i finally did it! TY FOR THE CHALLENGE
357 times to beat the AI eh??? Yeah this sounds like something that would eventually make me chuck my psp at the wall, losing that many times. I’d probably take me a lot more then that to get a 1 “W” if 1 at all.
lol Yeah it was completely worth it I did throw my psp….But good game man. Now make me one with a harder AI!!!!! lol jk thanks
i threw my nintendo d.s. out the window after the 358th try
@all: thx
