Chess Simulator is a 1990 chess video game developed by Oxfordshire-based Oxford Softworks and published by Infogrames for the Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS.[3] Oxford Softworks' previous chess program, Chess Champion 2175, was released only a few months before Chess Simulator.[4] Chess Simulator is part of Infogrames' Simulator series, which includes Dames Simulator, Bridge Simulator, Billiards Simulator, and an unreleased Pinballs Simulator.[5][6]
The board can be viewed in 2D or 3D perspective. The game includes a mode where the player's Elo rating is determined after solving 24 chess puzzles.[7] Other modes include a supervisor mode, where a two-player match is supervised by the computer.[8] The DOS version features EGA graphics.[9]
