Unused graphics

When you finish the game on any difficulty level, it tells you to try a harder level, even if you finish a game on the highest difficulty level. Hidden inside the ROM are what looks like graphics for a face (probably the chessmaster guy) and it's found right after the ending message. This was likely going to be used for the good ending.
