Sam has closed his piano and gone to bed ... now we can talk about the real stuff of life ... love, liberty and games such as Janus, Capablanca Random, Embassy Chess & the odd mention of other 10x8 variants is welcome too
For posting: - invitations to games (you can also use the New Game menu or for particular games: Janus; Capablanca Random; or Embassy) - information about upcoming tournaments - disussion of games (please limit this to completed games or discussion on how a game has arrived at a certain position ... speculation on who has an advantage or the benefits of potential moves is not permitted while that particular game is in progress) - links to interesting related sites (non-promotional)
Don't worry folks, I still have the entire graphical user interface to write for this database. Once I have it, I need to be able to write code for the program to probe it, generate moves, find the best defense, and make that best move.
I am not even there yet!
But if you want to help, I will post all 532 checkmates on the web at:
sometime this evening. I am sure you will all review every position carefully and make sure all positions are checkmates and no possible configuration is ommitted!
