I don't see any problems in the log.

Could someone else try saving and report their findings?

I'm not exactly sure how you save, but I don't see it after opening / closing DreamChess.

Different from what you're trying to figure out, I found a bug that's also in SVN r235.

It's easier to do a Human vs. Human agme so you can manipulate the other person's pieces.

The problem: A pawn is taken when it's not supposed to be.

Recreate the problem:

Move white pawn c2 -> c4
Move black pawn h7 -> h6 (really doesn't matter who you move)
Move white pawn c4 -> c5
Move black pawn d7 -> d5
Move white pawn c5 -> d6

The black pawn on space d5 will be taken.

This is not a bug. This is what's called an 'en-passent' move.

That's a first for me. I never heard of it. Thanks.

EDIT: Is that move only possible with another pawn?

It's en-passant, accoring to Google's hits.

The black pawn on space d5 will be taken.

He's moving to the space directly behind the black pawn, not performing 'en-passent'

.

EDIT: Which is actually an illegal move, anyway

Hmm? I don't follow. The gif shows an en-passant capture.

Oops, you're right

I used to be on the school chess team, but I haven't played in about a decade so I slip up on the fiddly moves a lot

Any news about this project?

Phantom · Post by **Phantom** » Sun Dec 25, 2005 4:09 pm

The project is moving along very slowly, but it's moving. We still desperately need a 2D graphics artist and a 3D modeller to join the team.

We're working towards the 0.1.0 release. Here are some new screenshots:
