Figure 10.4: Chessbox

Chessbox is a one-person chess game with computer articial intelligence. The chess engine is a port of GNU Chess 2 by John Stanback.

It also works as a PGN le viewer. Instead of executing the game from the plugin menu, look for any le with .pgn extension in the le browser and execute it. Chessbox will show the list of matches included in the le and allow you to select the one you want to watch. After that, you can scroll back and forth through the moves of the game. If the menu is invoked while in the viewer, the user is allowed to select a new match from the same le or quit the game.

\Force play" while the computer is thinking will cause it to make its move immediately. If done while it’s your turn, the computer will move for you and ip the board so that you are playing from the other side. If you want, you can force play an entire game and watch the articial intelligence ght against itself.

When you quit the game the current state will be saved and restored when you resume the game. The menu also allows the user to reload the last game saved, save the current position and start a new game without having to quit the game.
