”Welcome… to Chessmaster.”
Chessmaster is a series of chess video games. It released on many systems. This TAS beats the CPU on the easiest difficulty, “Newcomer 1”, on the Game Boy Color version.

Objectives

  • fastest completion
  • easiest difficulty
  • Emulator used: BizHawk 2.11

Notes

Before starting the game, I have to switch the difficulty to Newcomer 1, since the game's default difficulty is set to Newcomer 2. I then have to start a new game for the changes to actually take effect.
These moves are played:
  1. e4, e5
  2. Qh5, Ke7
  3. Qxe5++
If it looks like I'm losing time by moving the cursor between turn 1 and 2, it's because I cannot move the cursor while the CPU is playing its move. Some frames had to be wasted in order for Black to make a bad move on turn 2.

nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: This looks good and coincides with the other chess TASes that we have.
Accepting to "Standard", as "Newcomer 1".
