Spiffy new tech demo

I like this.

COuld the pieces glide ,like at chessgames.com ?

Works fine in Firefox 1.0.4 🙂

Would it be possible to show somewhere the pieces that have been captured (like on the 'proper' board)?

Hi Russ,

The board animations work properly if I choose the set 2 pieces and the set 3 pieces but it is not the case if I choose the set 1 pieces.

I have Win XP SP2 and IE6 and my computer is a Pentium 4. If the set 1 pieces is selected, when I click on the forward button, the piece involved in the move dissappear and reappear 10 to 15 seconds later. If I click on the play button, many pieces dissappear on the board and seem to reappear just a few moves later until the end of the game is reached.

I'm sure I'll love these new improvements! Thank you Russ for your wonderful work! 🙂

[b]the animation is weird in both, pieces not moving to the middle of the square, captured pieces remaining on the board

Windows98se and IE6
(yeah..I know, but I've spent years tweaking it and can't give it up.)

Heres what it looks like:

If you select a different set pieces than the set 1 pieces, does this problem still remains?

Yeah thanks, that was it (I use redhotchess).

I like the new features and for the record, they work fine on: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; OpenBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040902 Firefox/0.8

Add another that has the same problem as xs and Kneverknight. I'm also an IE6 user. Old OS though, 98.

I like the way the ponies move at chessgames.com. And what about drag and drop pieces? Maybe they could be optional.
