The ZX Chess AI could not castle. It wasn't possible to enter a castling move for the human player either. Also looking at the Wikipedia page I see it didn't understand "en passant" or queening either, so it plays a reduced version of chess.


I've got an even shorter program that plays a more reduced version of chess. It's 0 bytes.


Which subset?


The empty subset.

The title claims it can play chess, this is not chess.


How small can you make a program that makes pedantic, technically correct, but completely useless comments on the internet?


Depends on how you define "pedantic".


Nice answer (and username).

I think that problem requires at least as much space as the brain module that determines "usefulness", which means quite a lot of space.
