 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

For those interested, Tom Kerrigan also developed another chess program named tChess Pro for Apple iPad and iPhone. It allows one to play against a computer opponent rated between 500 and 2500 ELO. |

In the future, I would like to make modifications to this program. 1. Add higher resolution graphics, perhaps using 1280 x 1024 resolution mode in place of 800 x 600 mode 2. Create a more extensive opening book 3. Create chess variants such as Chess 960, Capablanca Chess, Wide Chess 12, and Reformed Courierspiel |

 Very good! ...can you port this for the PicomiteVGA as well? For me it would be important that you can make the program really weak! I like to play chess very much, but I am lousy...  Frank |

Sorry, I do not own a PicomiteVGA. At some point in the future I may investigate adding an option to make the program weaker among other modifications. |

Hi bar1010, Switch the CMM2 to mode 7 (320x240) That will most likely run with minor changes on the pico. Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |

 Here is a new BMP file that I might use for higher resolution piece graphics. The squares are 115x115 pixels compared with 60x60 pixels for the current version. |

I think I had posted this some long time ago... Here is my old chess, was written for a much older version of mmbasic but I guess elements of it could be useful to someone else chess.zip |

Bar PM ME I have a Pm VGA Board I'd send ya if you'd build it and port Chess to it, But Please don't Lobotomize it it beat me 2 out of 5 games last night, and interestingly enough I played it against GNU Chess on my Nvidia Jetson Nano this morning, and the Jetson got mad and accused me of Cheating But seriously the engine is perfect and the Graphics are nice only thing is wish it would show the Score sheet so we can study the game after, because the idea of creating a chess engine simply amazes me and a clock that plays speed chess OMG OMG OMG I'd be your servant for life Speed chess with a chess engine OMG I may be Vulgar, but , while I'm poor, I'm Industrious, Honest, and trustworthy!

 Now have modified TSCP Chess to have a new pieces set and higher resolution. The original resolution was 800x600. The new resolution is 1280x1024. The text on the left side of the screen is quite small though. Might soon post an updated ZIP file after more testing. Edited 2022-09-30 06:32 by bar1010 |

I will not be developing a Picomite port. However, if someone else wants to do so or wants to add new functionality to the CMM2 version, that would be fine as long as you request Tom Kerrigan’s permission to do so. Edited 2022-10-01 07:27 by bar1010 |

Hi Bar, I have just sent an Email to Tom, requesting his permission. May we also have your permission to convert to a PicoMite, any of the code that is specifically your own. Regards Kevin Moore. |

Hi Volhout, Continuing from here :- Link to Post Yes agreed, we may need a debug version of PicoMite MMBasicVGA. By changing the size of some arrays and or the depth of search variable, I do get different lines erroring out, but they all seem to be relatively early in the code, though this may just be that that is the bit of code used the most. for example:- Else For j=0 To offsets(piece(i))-1 n=i Do n=mailbox(mailbox64(n)+offset(piece(i),j)) If n=-1 Then Exit If n=sq Then attack=1:j=offsets(piece(i))-1 i=63:Exit EndIf I briefly get "ERROR : I Different type already declared" before it dies. So the crash is not consistent. This piece of code is looped through a lot, so the variable 'I' will have been used in previous loops with no problems. I did attempt braking out of the program at some point before the crash and checked memory usage and it looked to be fine, just over 50%. Regards Kevin. Edited 2022-10-01 21:59 by Bleep |

Yes, you may convert to PicoMite any of the code that is specifically my own. Also you may do so for any of the programs that I have uploaded to the Back Shed forum or will upload in the future. |

Hi Kevin, With the picomite 5.07.05RC4 you can run the chess code by changing the number of nodes that it searches. Currently every 128 nodes it checks if there is a time overrun, if not it continues adding nodes. If we skip at the first check the number of nodes is limitted to 127. In early game (all parts oon the board). it will not search deeper that 2 ply. If (nodes And 127)=0 Then 'If Timer>stop_time Then stop_search=1 stop_search=1 EndIf If stop_search<>0 Then Exit Function If (nodes And 127)=0 Then 'If Timer>stop_time Then stop_search=1:Exit Function stop_search=1:Exit Function EndIf Volhout Edited 2022-10-02 05:27 by Volhout PicomiteVGA PETSCII ROBOTS |
