Anyhow, I did write a weak chess program with it that helps people with their visualization.

Originally posted by dkappeNice new stuff. I like the hiding pawns and pieces. Reminds me of some training excercises we used to do on my chess team back in school. It was interesting how different players were better at remembering pawns than pieces and vice versa. I think the guys who were better at playing without seeing the pawns were more positionally talented wherease the guys who could play without seeing the pieces were more tactical. I was definitely one of the more tactical guys, but take the pawns off the board and I was a little lost.
Agreed. Very well done library. I've used it extensively in my GPL app Chess Training Tools (chesstraining.sourceforge.net).

Anyhow, thanks for the program. Now I can work on some of my weaknesses and maybe relaunch my fabled blindfold career.
