Apparently, this is is going to be the fifth homebrew game we'll be reporting for the Nintendo Wii. It's a simple game of chess created by developer hanse, and is actually a port of Tom Kerrigan's Simple Chess Program (TSCP).

TSCP was written back in 1997 as a means of demonstrating the basics chess programing. hanse's port in particular adds a small user interface. The developer notes that you'll need Team Twiizer's Twilight Hack to run this game on your console

The game is controlled by a GameCube pad, with cursor movement being achieved by the D-Pad. The A button places the blue cursor, while the B button moves from the blue to the orange position. Further details regarding how this game are available in the file bundle's readme, and over at hanse's post (via the source link).
