Legal Troubles

When periodical PET Gazette were promised a copy of this program it was never received even after being guaranteed twice by the owner of Microtronix. Another reader of the PET Gazette also mentioned never receiving the game. Later they started selling a new chess game that was allegedly based off code from another party who tried to get a distribution deal with Microtronix.
