Prepare to be delighted. Full disclosure, my Atari isn’t hooked up and also I don’t have the Video Chess cart even if it was, so this was fetched from Google Images.
I bet that’s a slightly unfair representation of what it actually looked like. Graphics back then were purposely designed for how they would look on CRT tvs which add a lot of specific distortions to images. So taking a screenshot of a game running in an emulator without using a high quality crt filter added to the image will be a very untrue representation of what the game actually looked like.
(Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it actually looked great when displayed correctly, but i am saying it would’ve looked considerably better than this emulator screenshot)

Those are some funky looking knights lol
Never seen a snake/horse hybrid before?
Snorse
There’s some very odd pieces on high dollar physical chess sets too.
I’m annoyed the pieces are bottom adjusted…
Can confirm.
And if you play it on expert mode, you can leave for college and get your degree before it’s your turn again.
