This is certainly interesting, but I'm not sure it can be expanded, which was a major point of this jam. Also, it crashes on victory against the computer.

I'm not sure this is a balanced variation, as it seems like white would have too much advantage.

Developer

Yeah moving first in this game gives you tactical advantage. We are working on improvement like applying deep learning in this for making computer play. And also working on bugs which are reported. Enjoy the game till next update is done.

Yeah, none of my rar unzippers will open this.  Unzip RAR says it's an invalid file type, 7Zip gives me an empty folder, and Express Zip self cancels unzipping.

Developer

It's working for me, Check it once more. Otherwise I will give you a new link to download

Okay.  Got it to work.  Wasn't easy to get it to work.  I wonder what's up with that.  Anyway, this is a really great take on chess.  Unfortunately, it has a bad habit of randomly crashing sometimes when I move.

Can you describe or share screenshot of cmd file when it crashes, it will help us fix the bug. Thanks for your help on it. My email id: pritish(zero)(five)(zero)(nine)@gmail(dot)com  #use number and dot in place of bracketed thing

I can't.  It's not like an error code or anything.  I move my piece and the window just blinks out.  I could show you a screencap of the game, or I can show you a screenshot of my desktop, but I can't show you the crash.

Developer

Thanks man, just send it to us we will see what is the problem

As I've already said, there's no error code, so there's no screen cap I can give you.  I'd only be screen capping either the game in play or my desktop.  There's nothing to screen cap.  After several playthroughs, though, I do know it's not random.  It crashes instantly upon checkmate.

Also, pawns don't move correctly.  They will only push on their first move.  After that, I can only move them side to side.

Submitted

It doesn't crash if it checkmates me.  Just found that out.
