And the Raspberry Turk — a chess-playing robot from developer Joey Meyer — is a masterwork in that regard, serving as a way to learn everything from machine vision to robotics to AI.

In a unique experiment, an engineer pitted the latest ChatGPT 4o model against his Atari 2600's chess engine on the beginner difficulty level, and ChatGPT got handily defeated, eventually conceding.

The Arati 2600 from the late 1970s is not exactly cutting-edge hardware, but it's apparently powerful enough to beat ChatGPT in multiple chess games.
