Interview with Microchess creator Peter Jennings
Join us as we discover the story of Microchess for the KIM-1, one of the first commercial home computer games ever published.
We’ve been fortunate enough to have him help us share the full story of Microchess, so grab a cup of coffee or hot chocolate and enjoy some real gaming history. The story of Chessmate involves figures such as the powerful and ruthless Commodore boss Jack Tramiel and the highly eccentric American chess legend Bobby Fischer, so it’s definitely worth reading.
