I love playing chess, even though I'm not really good at it. I never get to play anymore though. Probably been about six years or so since I last played. Thanks Master Dunn.

thank you this is great i cant wait to play it.

you guys...jeff is kicking my butt!

You all are very welcome; Also, the link that says discuss this game in the chess forum now works...... and points to here.

Does anyone know how to castle with this game? I can't seem to get the system to recognize that I want to castle. I know it can be done as I've seen my illustrious opponent (Br. John) do it. let me know. thanks everyone and MTFBWY

yeah, chess.

i don't believe it can, i think it is just a basic game, i tried un pass un and that didn't work. go figure.

Well, to castle: No square adjoining the king or between the king and the rook can be under attack even from any distance and neither can the king be in check (I believe the rook also must not be under direct assault not sure on this though) and you can not have moved either the king or rook beforehand (I also believe the king can not have been placed into check anytime beforehand even if blocked without having to move which is why many people castle too early) . If all these conditions apply simply choose to move the king to the appropriate space and the rook should place itself in the correct position.

As far as enpasse captures.... it is considered a legal tournament move and is often not used in amateur games which may be why it doesn't work but, I will look into that as I was wondering about it myself.
