Hello! I made some improvements to my Pascal chess library (1). By the way I found and fixed an important bug, so I decided to make another release of
Eschecs .
For now there are only Linux binaries, since I don't have a Windows machine under the hand.
https://gitlab.com/rchastain/eschecs/-/tags/5.1.1
(1) The library is now able to read PGN file. There are demo programs and a
Makefile in
source/chess/demo/ . You just need Free Pascal.
Thanks for your attention.
Roland
