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

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!

Keep me entertained once in while when i'm bored. Thanks the author for yours works.

By tinhxuaemconnhogi, # May 11, 2007 1:23:18 AM

Dude, i love the game but for some reason u cant seem to make the ol'rook and king switch when u play..... or maybe u can and i just cant figure out how to do this magic so tell me something bro.

By dray21, # May 8, 2007 5:35:19 AM

I can't seem to the move them. whenever I click on the things, the entire board moves with my mouse.

By preppyjock, # May 6, 2007 10:48:15 AM

It would be great if a future release would include saving/resuming the last game. Very good work by the way.

By pareo1, # May 6, 2007 9:01:23 AM

Thanks for an error report. I am so swamped that a lot of stuff won't be done for a while... =/

Это очень замечательний виджет. Это действительно великая игра всех времен и народов. Я ставлю самую высокую оценку этой игре. Мне нравится, что можно не только украсить "Оперу", но и провести время с ней. Когда ко мне приходят мои друзья, мы часто играем в шахматы. Теперь я могу играть в шахматы не отрываясь от работы. Это очень удобно для меня.

(It's very lovely widget. It's really great game of all times and peoples. I put the highest estimation to this game. I like that it is possible not only to decorate "Opera" but also spend time with her. When my friends come to me, we play chess often. Now I can play chess not torn away from work. This very comfortably for me. Thanks a lot.)

By Stalker[FallenAngels], # Apr 11, 2007 8:13:38 AM

This is an issue (as stated above). I am deeply sorry for my lack of time as of late. I am trying to get opera to work on my Linux distro, and have been unsucessful as of yet...
