I think i figured out a pattern :P


I think this entry is too smart for me, but the take on the theme is fantastic. I wish it was more clear to me (a very casual chess player) what exactly I'm supposed to do. Highly innovative and creative, though, nice job.

Its pretty fun to mess around with. It fits the theme pretty well. I think it'd be nice if it showed you how it made the shortest checkmate (Like what moves it made) but that'd be difficult to add.

Very nice idea! Would be nice to see the moves it made for the solution, or to see a shorter solution in case it found one.

Hi, thanks for the feedback. @chumzy actually it will be very easy to add. As engine is already suggest moves if it can find a mate. I just need to implement execution of moves. Great idea maybe I will add it in post mortem version.


Why is there no mate on the board in 3 moves?

Hi @ancooper you right there is the mate in 3 in this situation. You see the engine is not like a human it has to go to depth 5 to find that it left the promising move behind. My game is currently going only to the depth of the level. And you have to create a forced mate situation I guess or the engine would not find it. I've tried to just look for mate in X and engine goes crazy sometimes when you make a mistake. I need to find the better approach in finding the answer without breaking a game.

Yes. I've experimented with this. The concept is very interesting. I saw the logs in chrome.

If I look at this example above and click "go deeper", the game responds: bestmove a2a3 ponder a8a7. Click again and again: bestmove c1c6 ponder a7a8, bestmove c6a6

Technically, the game gave the answer in three moves))
