Cyber Chess is a chess-playing computer program developed by William Tunstall-Pedoe. [1] [2] It was written for the Acorn Archimedes and published commercially by The Fourth Dimension. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
Evaluation of moves was tuned by use of a genetic algorithm. [8]
The game provides play against another human or the computer (at various levels of difficulty). Saved games and graphics export as vector Drawfiles are supported. [9]
In Acorn User's games review of 1993/94, Cyber Chess was listed number 55 in the Best 100 Games. [10] The game was well received by the magazines Acorn Computing [5] and Archimedes World, [6] but the retail price of £35 was criticised by The Icon Bar in an article about the marketing of RISC OS games. [11]
[...] highly qualified computer boffin, William Tunstall-Pedoe [...] developed a complete commercial chess-playing program, Cyber Chess.
William Tunstall-Pedoe is also the author of Cyber Chess, available from The Fourth Dimension [...]
Cyber Chess is the best game of chess on the Archimedes
Cyber Chess is being promoted as 'The definitive chess-playing program' for Acorn... a grand claim indeed but the program goes a long way towards fulfilling it
I developed a complete commercial chess-playing program from scratch including a high quality chess engine, animated graphics, sound effects and a full state-of-the-art user interface. The product was marketed as Cyber Chess and published by The Fourth Dimension.
Cyber Chess is a RISC OS 4 and StrongARM compliant chess program [...] can be played against the computer, at varying levels, or between two players [...] can save the current board setup as a native Cyber Chess file for returning to later; and additionally you can save the board layout as a Draw file.
[...] products developed without any real feedback from the market being sold at rip-off prices (Cyber Chess for £35 anyone?). While this price might seem fair to the publishers, it certainly doesn't to the buyers.
