Hello everyone,

Last summer I have written a chess program completely in Flash AS 2.0.  
It’s at www.ziccidus.nl/chess

It’s main purpose is to teach people how to learn chess, and i’m developing a chess lessons for Ziccidus as we speak.

It’s not very strong, but it has beaten some beginners C:-)  
It won’t be much stronger unfortunately: For Ziccidus to calculate more than 2 ply (halfmoves) with AS 2.0 takes too much calculation time. It could be done with moving the calculation to the server-side in stead of client-side (or program it in another language altogether) but that was never my intention with this project.

Please let me know what you think, and any suggestions and/or bugs.

Kind regards,  
Gilbert Vrancken, Ziccidus
