Eschecs - Pascal chess program

[Ñuño Martínez]

Tested. It works on Linux+Wine.

It killed my queen but I don't know when. May be an option to repeat the last movement or marking the last computer movement...

Anyway, good work.

Thank you for testing. Glad to know that it works on Wine.

I am making something for you.

Anyway, good work.

Thank you.

By the way, there would be three new messages to translate, if you would.

    'Please wait...', // txWaiting
    'UCI protocol accepted.'#10#10'Engine name: %s'#10'Author: %s', // txUciOk
    'Cannot connect to the engine.', // txConnectionFailure

    'Cannot connect to the engine.', // txConnectionFailure

Here you have:

    'Espere, por favor...', // txWaiting
    'Protocolo UCI aceptado.'#10#10'Nombre del motor: %s'#10'Autor: %s', // txUciOk
    'No pudo conectarse al motor.', // txConnectionFailure

The first one can be also "Espere un momento, por favor..." ("Please wait a minute/moment...").

Thank you very much.

Hello! Here is a new version.

Now the last move of the computer is indicated by an arrow.

Secondly, the name of the opening (in english) is displayed in the title bar.

Hey why not record entire game history and allow players to replay it entirely. This feature can be quite useful for people to analyze their mistakes. Also you could record your game play and allow others to watch it being played some other time.
Implementing this is actually pretty trivial. All you need is to log is the name of the chess pice, origin and destination field which can all be stored in a single 5 character long string.
So in your first picture the last black movement would be "PD7D5" where P stands for chest piece Peon D7 is place of origin and D5 is the place the pice has been moved to. So in end you simply end up with a simple text file storing all of the moves made in a game.

Thank you for your suggestion. Here you are:

Eschecs 3.0.4

You navigate with the keyboard arrows:

• Left: go back to previous position
• Right: go to next position
• Up: go to last position
• Down: go back to first position

Also you could record your game play and allow others to watch it being played some other time.

Why not in a future version. Currently the game is automatically and silently saved when you quit the program using the corresponding menu item (or using the Escape key).

Hello! There is a new version of Eschecs.

What is new? You drag and drop your pieces (instead of clicking on squares).

Other difference, there is no longer a UCI engine automatically started. You have to select an engine in the "Moves" menu. It will be started and, if the connection succeeds, your will see the name of the engine in the window title.

Great you're working on it still. One thing, clicking the version number in the links on your page always leads to the dutch version even if other language is clicked.

Thank you. It's a never ending story.

Thank you for reporting the problem. It's weird because I have again tested all the links and I could successfully download the different files.
