Son of RHPLive lives!

I have been working on the a new 'from the browser' RHP Live in recent days. As it is so easy to distribute and run (unlike RHP Live 1 in .Net) I have decided to release stuff as I go just for the fun of it – some of you might like to track its progress (and some early feedback would probably help).

So, here it is, version 0.0.1. No multiplayer yet, just a simple piece moving and move validation test - against a stupid opponent. (I use it for testing - it matches my ability. 😕 )

Russ, tell me you are better than that! I know you are! Cool to check out, but that computer is very bad at Chess!!!

P-

Its not bad at Kamikazee chess, it was amazing at trying to get rid of its pieces before mine.

Seems like it`ll be fun, i agree with the colours though, a bit gaudy. I`d prefer plain old black and white.

Yeah, I was just messing with the colours. 2 minutes before I uploaded it, you couldn’t even see the black pieces on black tiles - so I made a quick change - but now I know you all hate that colour scheme, that rules that one out. [I will probably offer a choice in the final version anyway]

I am encouraged by the lack of : 'Hey, I couldn't get it running!!!'

It even worked on my box + it let me win so i think it's the best!! Are you planning to have seperate RHP and RHPLive ratings, a consolidation of the two or just no ratings for RHPLive stuff?

Live games will not influence your site rating.

I may add another rating dedicated to live games later, but not initially.

Ooooh. New stuff. Like it. Especially that browny beige thing 😲 Only joking - what colour is that anyway?

One thing I'm not sure of is the way the pieces, especially the pawns, tilt when being picked up. Also the pawns look like they've slipped down the squares - they're not really in the middle. And those rooks look super fat, and I'm saying super. That's just being picky though.

What's people's fastest win been? After a tricky opening and a murky middle game I managed a strong finish to snatch a win in around 4,420 on the counter.

220 on the counter win with a Queen on f7 4th move.
