All i did was write the below message and attached the patch file and a big test pgn. For some reason it is spamming out the patch file into the message. Thankfully not the pgn. Sorry!
>From earlier: I wrote a patch for chess960. It works pretty well I think. If importing pgn make sure that castling in the FEN string is like KQkq instead of the other ways ive seen it done. This code knows no difference between chess960 castling and regular chess castling, it is all chess960 castling. Since regular chess is just one position in chess960, it works for standard chess as well. For now, to castle in the gui, the king must capture a friendly rook. The move 2 spaces is not implemented anymore, even for regular chess. I tried several locations to do it, but failed mainly from laziness. I think the gui should substitute a friendly rook capture for a king moving 2 as early as possible before passing move to the c code. I kind of want to keep that out of there to keep it simple. FICS has not been touched nor has any tcl code The global encodeVariation func is now a member of Game. The encoding process needs current positions as it encodes kings so it knows what the king is actually trying to do, so importing large pgns is maybe slower now! Also, Position class now contains a pointer to the Game that owns it, so a position can know about the start position. Some position's Game * is NULL (like opening books, etc, i think). Let me know what you think! I would like to continue on. Maybe the FICS functionality could be improved. Maybe bughouse or crazyhouse. I do not know tcl/tk, although that may change. Im going to try to attach to this email a pgn of some fics chess960 games for to play with, import, etc
