in April 20th, 2010 @ 10:27Um. How do I get the chessboard to move a piece? I know how to play chess but I haven’t used the blog chess software before.

in April 20th, 2010 @ 11:56oxlin: You have to be logged in to make a move. Click on the piece you want to move, then click on the square you want to move it to. When you click on the piece, the board will light up with all of its possible moves — a nice feature.
There are buttons for castling on the king’s side (0-0) and the queen’s side (0-0-0), for offering a draw (1/2-1/2), and for resigning (skull and crossbones). The button with the two curved arrows lets you turn the board over so you see it with the black pieces at the bottom. The other buttons let you scroll forwards and backwards through the game (not possible now, as there has been only one move).

in June 18th, 2010 @ 16:28Well, If Oxlin’s going to be a camp counselor all summer, I might as well forfeit. With idle games being automatically ended and all…
