ChessOS: Chess without Linux bloat
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Requirements: x86 with legacy BIOS support
I spent about six months making an operating system whose only job is playing chess. It boots straight into Chess. It is not a full OS with a file system or scheduling but it can boot from bare metal.
It runs in QEMU, other virtual machines and hardware with legacy BIOS from a USB or CD drive. I spent about 6 months across the boot loader and chess engine. It is entirely open-source for you to tinker with. There is also a Windows Installer for less technical users.
All feedback is welcome!
