## Description
_Tommy’s Chess Set_ is a shareware, chess game which uses character graphics.
It is fairly natural when thinking about chess games to think of programs like
IBM’s Deep Blue and others of its kind, games that play chess well enough to
give anyone from an amateur to a grand master a good game. _Tommy’s Chess Set_
is not that kind of a game as it does not actually play chess itself. What it
does is give the player a computerised chess set with which they can play
against another player on the same, or another machine. Alternatively a player
can set up a board representing a chess puzzle or a famous game and play it to
its conclusion.
The game uses standard chess notation and has save and restore functions as
well as back-step and undo back-step functions. Players can also add their own
notes to each move and review these when replaying a game.
The game is entirely keyboard controlled. It has basic sound effects and
command line switches to start the game with sound turned off and to force
either a colour or monochrome display
