Pawn Chess

[Thomas]

Here my chess program written in PureBasic and BlitzMax: http://www.pawnchess.de

the adjustable beginner's mode was implemented which lets the computer make mistakes

My computer makes mistakes all the time! (admittedly, with more than a little help from me)

It works really nicely, I like the graphics, could be addictive......

Thanks Thomas.

Lovely graphics; good game, too.

I have a slight glitch on my system: Core I3, Windows 7-64bit where a ghost of the black piece just moved remains on the vacated square.

Doesn't spoil a good game though!

[IdeasVacuum]

... I thought that was a deliberate feature, so that you could see the origin of the computer's move?

[Thomas]

Yes, the ghost is a feature.

Thanks for posting Thomas, and source code for the engine that will give me many hours of learning and experiments lol

Iv`e often wondered how PB would fair should fruit tscp be ported to pb, fruit`s elo is about 2400 on my i3 350m laptop. so with you code ill look to add uci-uci2 protocol and run it in arena see what elo it will give in a tourney.

I had a quick game against pawn 3.03 beginners level set to high was surprised initially wasnt expecting an opening book played a ruy lopez i won at around 70 moves. nice youve also added novag support my first tabletop back in the 80`s (£500 then ) was a constellation expert around 1800 elo had beaten it several times with a najdorf. gonna set it to 8 ply later tonight and have a few games to see how it fairs

Again many thanks for posting

are you going to add pgn at all ?

[davido]

Thank you for your explanation.

I'm sorry to have asked such a daft question.

Yes, you're right it is a feature and I now appreciate that it is a good one in, may I say, an excellent game.

Congratulations

Pawn 3 supports loading and saving of PGN files, just select the file type accordingly.
