Some years ago, in a now-defunct British PC magazine, there was an
advertisement for a chess program on the ZX-80, that ran in *1K* of RAM.
It was not a joke either, someone had written it to prove that it could
be done, though the code was apparently absolutely unreadable and the
game it played was pathetic, but it *did* play.  The processor, for
those of you who don't know, was a Z-80.

I must have that advert stored somewhere.  I wouldn't have thrown away
something that interesting...
