V1.3 Mar 19, 2007 10:10:40 PM

Chess+ uses the javascript chess engine and interface made by Sven Vahar to play chess against the computer. It has 3 difficulty levels, the ability to switch which side of the board you are on, and you can even take back your move!

*************************************
1.3 Update:

Changed difficulty level names.
Added # of players drop down menu (this doesn't work! please do not post about this, as it is still under beta!).
*************************************
1.2 UPDATE:
Added reload button
*************************************
1.1 UPDATE:

Deleted new game button and about button, as neither worked. To start a new game, you will have to refresh the widget. I will be working on making a new refresh button soon.

Added Close button.

Added background style.
*************************************

Please tell me if there is anything I should add/delete. Also, the next update (version 1.2) should be up soon. I will feature a refresh button and maybe a number of players control (it may be saved for 1.3 release). In version 2.0, I will take apart the code in order to make a config panel and will try to put the computer level, the number of players, and the rules there. I hope you en

It's a beautiful widget, but there's a little bug.
When you swap to play with the blacks, click "undo" will block the game. You can click "undo" and move the pieces if you play with the whites, but not with the blacks.

Smartboyathome,

If you need help with getting Opera to work on Linux, I would suggest emailing me...

Nice widget but it does not always understand the rules of chess - like trying to take a mating queen that is protected by another piece!

Not a bad attempt at a chess program. Only Moderately diffucult even on Hard mode.

BUG: It doesn't register Checkmate? I Checkmated the computer and he just took my queen?!? Then I can't take his king afterwards either :S

By Skasian, # Sep 11, 2007 0:09:01 AM

this is the only widget usefull for me!!!! finaly!
becouse it has nothing to do with countries!!!

By keconstanza, # Sep 3, 2007 1:30:08 AM

its not too bad...and a challange for me on medium.

2 things i noticed.

i took a rook in its corner spot with my knight, he then castled my knight
with his king.

a number of times it will move the king INTO check or i check him and
he moves anyways.

its pertty good widget though.

hi hw can i download to my iam not getting

By Satish557, # Aug 8, 2007 9:30:31 AM

for me it doesnt even work.

if i try to move a piece the entire widget moves.

and when i tried typing the moves list, the text field acted just like a text editor, ignoring the steps.

only way i could play was to set the widget to single player and then swap every after every move. so the computer played, i swapped and watched. :-(

waiting for improvements.

By intensor, # Jun 28, 2007 9:57:15 PM

Ok, I was made the kinder check, and next move of program was... castle. How??

By twocats, # Jun 3, 2007 11:51:38 AM

Hey, I know you are working hard on fixing it, however, I noticed that "Hard" is actually not as challenging as "medium". After playing 10 games on each I won 5/10 on medium and 8/10 on hard. Not only this but of the two I lost on hard one was a false victory for the computer: it was not a checkmate at all. Having said this, the game is great! Keep up the good work!
