Ever wanted to get chess lessons from a genius who could crush your soul with a bishop and a glare? Bobby Fischer Teaches Chess (1994, DOS) is your chance. Based on the classic book, the game patiently walks you through strategies, tactics, and the kind of mental warfare that made Bobby a legend—and probably a very intense dinner guest. It’s less a game and more a meditative journey into the depths of chess logic, with old-school UI that feels like you’re programming a space shuttle. Great if you’re serious about chess. Not so great if you thought this was going to be checkers with better hats.
