Hello!
The latest version (please see first post) includes a mate solver, a dynamic library based upon the MATER program by Valentin Albillo. So the computer's move can come from three sources: the book, the mate solver, the main engine.
An important correction has also been made in the engine.
Still compiled with the current versions of Lazarus, fpGUI, BGRABitmap. Tested under Windows 8.1. Maybe I should include the libraries in the archive.

If you don't have specific approval from the original authors to distribute those libraries with your code then it would be better if you simply add Readme file and add necessary information as to where can people get those libraries from.
This way you avoid some possible problems regarding the possible Intellectual Property Rights violation.

Thank you for your advice. Yes, I should add a readme file. It will be done in the next version.

Hello! There is a new version of Eschecs. The previous version didn't work properly when compiled with Lazarus 1.6. Please see the download link in the first post.
Hello! Here is Eschecs 2.4.1. Please see first post of this discussion. All observations welcome.
I began to write a short documentation in three languages. The french version (lisezmoi.txt) is the most completed. I have to finish the english and german files (liesmich.txt, readme.txt). A help would be welcome.
The game itself is available in the same three languages. If someone who speaks another language would contribute a translation, he would be welcome too. One would just have to create a file (for example) chinese.inc, starting from a copy of english.inc (in the languages folder).
Any other contribution or observation welcome.
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.
