Chesmac is a Finnish computer chess game programmed by Raimo Suonio for the Telmac 1800 computer, published by Topdata in 1979.[1] It is possibly the first commercially released video game in Finland.[1]
The game has a simple graphical user interface and the moves are entered with number-letter combinations. The computer calculates its moves for so long that the game has been described as resembling correspondence chess. A new version of Chesmac based on its original source code was published in 2014.
