Chess Court Version 1.10

PC vs PC chess with partial movegame. With features to

setup and demonstrate chess problems and openings. A PC can play a game

of chess with another PC by having conversations with the NPC chessmasters

or by usiung the Magic Staff. If you settup a chess opening or problem,

audio clues will let you know when you made the correct move. You can

have the chessmaster show you the solution if you give up.

The chess court area can be easily modified to create a "Harry Potter" style problem

that you can add to your own Module for your PC's to solve.

I plan to improve chess rule enforcement and add battles when pieces are captured.

I realize that Jonathan Epp of Bioware has released a chess module and from

my first look at it, it seems to be of the outstanding quality I would expect

from Bioware. My main intention in creating this module was as a demonstaration

of the include file itools_chess. I wrote this include file to make it easy for

other builders to create chess content in their own mods. I want those builders

to know that I am commited to fininshing this project to create a library of

functions including full move validation ( yes, even en pessant, not allowing

casteling through check, etc ).

I want to encourage the other chess module builders

and scripters to continue their good work.

I want to specifically thank UnTorn and acknowledge that the move validation

logic I wrote was inspired by his code. ( UnTorn , I am going to use some your good

ideas in your SlideMove coomand next! ).

I specifically want to encourage Ztilleto and Zekmyr to continue with their work.

Have fun making those chess related mods all and let me know how you have used this

inlude file or if want something added to it.
