”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++ Bxf7++
I swap out Qxf7++ for Bxf7++ because the bishop is closer to row 7. Why I didn't think of this earlier is beyond me. I think my brain was stuck on "Video Chess Mode" because in that game, moving the queen was faster than the bishop.
