Writing your game partially on in Assembler give you only partial control over your code. After all, if you already write one part of your game on Assembler why not write it completely on Assembler? It is not that difficult. The most difficult part is in writing the good chess game is in finding the way for making speedy and bug free logic. This is just this part that consume all your writing time. Once you did it 100% you can even rewrite it 100% on C and see if it as good for you.
