Eschecs - Pascal chess program

[SilverWarior]

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.
