I created PocketChess v1.0 for Pilot 1000 in 1996. The program size was 27K and featured a simple chess playing opponent. It employed an easy to use pen interface for either dragging or tapping pieces and squares to indicate move. It had 8 levels of play, reverse board, switch sides, setup board. PocketChess was a popular free download for several years and saw ports to other platforms. Eventually I licensed distribution rights to Handmark, Inc.
