”Welcome… to The Chessmaster.”
The 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 Gear version.

Objectives

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

Notes

These moves are played:
  1. e4, Knf6
  2. Bc4, Knxe4
  3. Qf3, Knc6
  4. Qxf7++
Black will always move their left knight on their first turn. You can only manipulate it landing on f6 or f8. If you do e3 turn 1, Black will play e5 on turn 3, making a checkmate impossible.

nymx: Claiming for judging.
nymx: Here is another port that beats the game with the Bishop / Queen attack. Another curious thought...you would think the Color Gameboy version would be more advanced for the same difficulty, over this one. Go figure. Anyway, no obvious issues once again.
Accepting to "Standard" as a "Newcomer 1" branch.
