Back in the days of the 8 bit processor and particularly the Zilog Z80 a company
named Artic Computing created a Chess program which was fully functional in 1K
of RAM for the Sinclair ZX80/81 computer. Bearing in mind that the ZX80/81
computer used a bit of that 1K RAM for its own uses, it is a marvel that they
managed this feat!
