Gameplay
Chess 7.0 allows for 2 player play against another person, along with 1 player play versus the computer. It includes 17 different levels of skill, and includes 27 special features.
Development
Chess 7.0 was written by Larry Atkin, a coauthor of Chess 4.7, the World Computer Chess Champion from 1977 to 1980.
Reception
0 for Computer Gaming World in 1983. Stating that it was good for both novices and experts, Mathews also approved of the manual. He tested the game in postal chess against a former South Carolina state champion with experience playing against computers; the United States Chess Federation 1965-rated human resigned on the 28th move. 0 probably has the most powerful chess solitaire play capability now available for home computers.
You will find it extremely entertaining even if chess is not your favorite game. I hope that more designers will try to reach this level of solitaire capability in other types of computer games".
