Joe Miccio's (apparently) Award-winning game, released in 1991, was created as an introduction to the full, traditional game of Chess, as we know it today.

The Game can be played by a single person, versus the computer program; or, providing two people are sitting at the same machine, they can take it in turns and do battle against each other.

Being a chess-variant, the stripped-down nature of this Game has a few rule-restrictions over the traditional game of Chess.
