Atari 2600 Video Chess disassembled and commented at last
1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 22 Jun 2023

I'm featured on that page, for porting it to C for running on modern PCs. But by far my favourite retro chess software project is Sargon 1978 https://github.com/billforsternz/retro-sargon

That is so cool! I love that it was released as a whole book. Looks like there's a bit of history behind this version. I found a complete Z80 assembly listing here.

I browsed through the repository as discovered by colejohnson66 downthread https://github.com/ajxs/yamaha_dx7_rom_disassembly. This is an example of superb, meticulous, lovingly documented work. The kind of thing you don't see every day, congratulations. The attention to detail is really just chef's kiss, starting with a really good repository name (a small thing, but still), continuing through clear and apparently comprehensive documentation of what you did and why, then on to beautifully formatted and commented assembly language (much better than the original source code I'd wager) with coherent and consistent paragraph commenting a particular delight, and finally (and very importantly) dedication to making sure others can reproduce your results and generate a matching binary too. There are likely to be other things of beauty in there I have forgotten to highlight, it's just that good. Oh the FAQ of course, what a great FAQ. Really I am being very wordy for someone that's lost for words.
BTW, I love retro computing too, this is my best attempt so far in the field https://github.com/billforsternz/retro-sargon. I aspire to similar standards to your good self, but I'm not there yet.
