A nice showcase of Postscript's abilities, which I first became aware of around 1990, when I sent a tiny program to a Postscript printer to generate a 1024x1024 maze, taking half a day to finish. The graphics are simple but good looking. The engine is weak as expected for a tiny engine. The game I played with my first 4 moves of e2e4, d2d4, e4e5, and d4d5 resulted in checkmate on move 18. I wasn't sure if it would accept en-passant capture but it did. Other tiny engines like Micro-Max [1] and nanochess [2] are much stronger. An interesting long running (2009-2021) discussion between their authors may be found on the chess programming forum [3].
