Colossus Chess, developed in 1983 from the existing White Knight chess program, showcased a significant advancement in chess programming. Utilizing innovative forward pruning techniques, it delved into deeper and narrower tree searches compared to its predecessor, boasting a refined evaluation function. The game saw widespread publication across various 8-bit microcomputers, including the Commodore 64, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, Apple ][, Atari, Amstrad CPC, Amstrad PCW, Sinclair Spectrum, and MSX. Subsequently, it made its mark on 16-bit micros like the Atari ST, Commodore Amiga, and IBM PC under the moniker ‘X’. Renowned as one of the best-selling chess programs of its time, Colossus Chess was meticulously crafted in assembly language tailored to each CPU architecture.
