Whilst I was surfing I found http://www.the5k.org where there are 3 chess programs of 5k each... Which reminded me of the early 1980s when there was a 'home' computer called the Sinclair ZX81 which came with only 1k as its memory - those were the days! (You could of course add more memory, I think up to a whopping 16k.) You could 'enjoy' a game of chess on your ZX81 1k machine - http://users.ox.ac.uk/~uzdm0006/scans/1kchess/ (I think this program actually takes up less than 1k.) I also seem to remember a similar sized commercial chess program, although these two could be one and the same. Small may not be beautiful or offer a good chess game, but you've got to admire the ingenuity of these guys when working under these kinds of contingencies. I wonder how low it's possible to go...? ;)
