Check Mate
by Peter Zoetewey
from Your Sinclair #15 (Mar.1987)

Long after man had disappeared from the surface of planet Sol III, the
robots lived on. The leisure complex under the polar icecap buzzed
with activity, as robots, androids and cyborgs played and replayed the
huge mechanical games. Oddly, they began to choose certain games more
than others, the most popular being Check Mate, a strategy game based
on a chess board.

As the control droid, you must construct a chess board by toggling the
huge squares, whilst avoiding the laser spitting Cursordroids. As each
square is set, another is toggled randomly across the board, so your
work is really cut out for you! So, control droid, sit back and bend
your mind to Check Mate.

The game couldn't be simpler this time around. Astonishingly enough,
the listing is all in Basic(!), with machine code 2-channel music, and
super (jolly dee) graphics, all loading up from DATA statements.
