Additional Comments

Video Chess is the game that led Atari to first invent bank-switched ROMs for the Atari 2600, even though the shipping version of the game wouldn't use the technique and was only 4K in size.

Multi-language boxes with a N sticker on the top flap containing a NTSC Black label cart are known to exist.

You could easily fool the program into "Fool's Mate" in all levels.
