Dear Friends,
Just for fun, in this hot summer let's indulge ourselves with this semi-automatic chess match between "Microchess 2" (Apple-1 version) versus ChatGPT model 4 (yes, the expensive version!).
You can find all the details and technicalities in the extensive description of the video!
A special appreciation to my friend Francesco Sblendorio, the SysOp of the BBS bbs.retrocampus.com, for his support and cooperation!
Enjoy the video! :-)
Why MicroChess? I was always of the impression that Sargon was the better Apple II chess program.
oh... I just noticed... Apple-1... Makes sense now... I don't think Sargon was on Apple-1.
Exactly, no Sargon...
To my knowledge "Microchess" and "Microchess 2" are the only chess programs available on Apple-1.
But if I am wrong please let me know, thanks!
:-)
As far as I have been able to find, I think you are correct. MicroChess 2 is really quite an accomplishment on an Apple-1 when you think about it.
Haha, a lot of fun.
Good to see 2k of raw programming can beat a datacenter-driven AI model.
Curious to know how much kWh this game costs at either side of the table ;-).
