Every home computer manufactured in the 1980's had to have a decent chess program. Cyrus Chess was released on game cartridge by Dragon Data for the Dragon 32. You can challenge the Dragon for a game of chess playing on any of 9 levels of difficulty. Gameplay takes place on a visual chess board, with a separate status screen showing the history of moves and a number of game options. It is possible to set up playing positions, get hints, change sides, take back moves, and so on during gameplay.
