Well - you could just search for "ZX81".
First thing that appears is a Wikipedia article which explains how the memory and off-line storage worked.
So I don't think finding this out would have been rocket science.
Having said that, and having written my first code on a ZX81 (if you don't count an even older TI programmable calculator with even less RAM) I'm old enough to be amused by the question. :)
However you slice it, chess in 1K was awesome coding.
