Hi!

here's a first test app for a chess algorithm.
just the basic rules of chess are implemented yet - no special moves

can you beat it?

download

"acknex.dll" file corrupted, can you re-upload it again?

in der tat, auch mit bestem willen komm ich hier nur zu einem "installation damaged"

I have problems with my ftp upload.
I'll try it tonight....

sorry

Something new on this issue?
I would like to test it.

Hint: As chess player I would prefer even more "clean" figures.
I think they are to smooth which introduces a certain similarity between them.

Edit:
If you need urgently someone with webspace - write me a pm.

pm'ed

Did you implement a chess AI?
If yes, does it use some recursive evaluation technique?

I think chess is a nice game, but for many casual players
not much fun.
It would be good to have a chessgame, using a very weak
AI, that makes humanlike errors.

i think that would be great to get people to play more chess,
an be less frustrated when starting out such a game.

---

another ideas is to let the AI help the player a bit,
Such as marking 3 figures, of wich 2 are considered doing
a faroable move, and 1 a "bad" move.
So the player can do a little "guided guessing"
of wich to use next.
-> without helping too much

It could also mark enemy figures beforehand wich are about to
make a strong move.

Have fun!

You can move your own figures to any position.

Quite a serious bug still

Apart from that, cool to see the AI playing.

@fogman: thanx for hosting & testing!

@Damocles_:
there is no validity check yet - it's an early alpha to test the AI.
The AI is a recursive alphaBeta (minmax) algorithm.
It is possible to adjust the depth and the extends (curr. 2/4) of the algorithm.
