Princhess, a chess program by Ulf Rathsman written in 6502 Assembly for the Commodore 64. Princhess played four World Microcomputer Chess Championships, the WMCCC 1980 in London, the WMCCC 1981 in Travemünde, becoming runner up, the WMCCC 1984 in Glasgow, where Princhess became tied champion, and the WMCCC 1985 in Amsterdam with a fourth place behind three Mephistos.
