Last night I dreamed I got into a squabble with my dad or he cut me off. I protested, I had been coming over to his computer to do minor things I needed to do to do computer chess, so I said after he said don't come here any more “How am I suppose to do computer chess?” It reminded me of my dad of 9...

Another problem with odds games is standard chess programs like Stockfish are not typically optimized to play them.

There is always XBoard on linux. Also my lantern chess at lanternchess.com is a chessclub interface but the analysis and pgn loading abilities are available on the free guest connection and the opening book. Its java and we have a few linux users some who compile from source code.

Pulsar with FR is in release a week or two now depending if i mean iOS or android. Anyone interested search pulsar chess in app store or play store. So no release for Windows? :cry: Well FR was in the existing Pulsar windows binary that is used on mobile as well. It was just never possible to play ...

Castling is very easy to figure out and if you don't include FRC with castling , you are probably wasting your time. To castle with the GUI, you just move the K to the R square your are castling with. Stockfish handles it correctly, you can probably use their logic. Pulsar with FR is in release a w...
