I didn’t finish this game because Atari had 12 pieces left on the board and Chess.com only had the king left.
I read it was thought impossible to make Chess for the Atari 2600 because the Atari cpu/ram is so weak.
The game was only made because someone threatened to sue Atari because they didn’t have a chess game available and there was a pic of a chess piece on the machines boxes cover which was a form of advertising to show Chess can be played on the Atari 2600.
Atari 2600 video chess AI (difficulty 1) beat the level 1 AI of Chess.com

I won’t post the moves of future games. I’ll only post the results of which AI won/lost
