The game is so small that it is less than 1KB

As games get better and better, their size also increases. 20GB is considered a small game, and 40GB is considered acceptable. Let's take a look at this incredibly small chess game, which is only 487 bytes.

Now even chess games are getting more and more fancy these days, so BootChess is really invaluable. Of course, a 487-byte game definitely doesn't have any graphics quality, in fact, it's pure text!

You might say, "Is this game playable?" And it is. As long as you remember the initials of the chess pieces, like P=Pawn, R=Rook, etc., the game is actually pretty intuitive.

It is worth mentioning that BootChess also broke the record of "smallest chess game" that had been maintained for 32 years. The previous record holder was 1K ZX Chess, which was only 672 bytes in size.
