I made a chess game for DOS (Announce)

It is not 100 % ready yet, but it is playable.

Not bad at all. Only the graphic could be better - the color dithering everywhere noticeably reduces the esthetic experience.

It uses EGA's 16-color low-res mode. I thought that it looks cool. And compared to VGA's mode 13h, it only needs 32000 bytes for the double buffer, which saves memory for other things. Maybe try playing it on a CRT? :-P

I added some customization options. Now the colors can be changed.
