Chess V3.3b
Chesspak, will now check the account file. If the chess user is no longer
a user then the game is deleted. Also, if the user has logged on
after it was his turn and it is 20 days since anyone has moved
the game is deleted. Net games only check local info.
Run chesspak from mainbbs directory. It will use chess.pth, and
falknet.pth.
Chess V3.3a
Better chess.lst creation. Found bug in chessext. fonedump.txt
is now used in chess. You should send a new "hello".
Chess.lst can now have a description after the node number:
14.1 Horseman's BBS
Chess V3.3
Added FNET support. Run chessext.exe after netsend.exe. Brand new
ch31to33.exe, chesspak.exe, B-day checker.
Make sure you run HELLO.EXE to start your chess.lst file. It will
take 2 days to receive responses from all systems using chess.
Chess V3.2
This version will not work with Falken V6.64. All other versions
will work fine, V6.65 and 6.63c et al.
Added RIP support! Just point and click. ch_icons.zip should be
in you ripterm\icons directory... Upgrade cost of $10.00.
Much better checking to see if user is actually online while
playing "P". If the user loses carrier tha game is saved automatically.
Option to toggle logon messages/sends.
Chess V3.1
Switched over to new functions internally. Added support for Falken 6.65
and 6.63c (btrv).
Chess V3.0
Added stealth mode. Added improved listing. Playing user online
improved aborting.

When using "M" to move, it now saves before pressing enter.
Made it easier to modify also. Uses checker.exe now.
Chess V2.8
Added sysops can delete games (L then D).
"M", -- A command now starts the user at black so white is
first move.

Fixed ROOK bug. When QUEEN on left side and rook on right side,
the game was not saying opponent in check! Fixed it.
When checkmate, program pauses now.
Added score of game in news file when someone resigns.
After "M" move, it shows screen again, then pauses.
Note: Just so you know, the game uses "ALGEBRAIC NOTATION" but the
prefix for each move is not the piece.
Chess v2.5
Fixed castling bug not showing up when using M.
Games.dat needs to be deleted and started over because
castling was setto FALSE when should have been untouched
in M mode.
Chess v2.4
New chess boards for ASCII and ANSI.

Added better show scores and show news routines.
Chess v2.2
Recompiled to fix stack overflow error. (link /ST:8000)
Check accounts when using M option before allowing game to begin.
Chess v2.1
-Castling changed. Castle Queenside was CL, Castle Kingside was CR.
Now they are O-O-O and O-O respectfully. Also, found bug in castle
where it would not show o-o-o AND o-o at same time. Fixed it.
-Fixed bug with Show news. Went into nonstop mode automatically.
-Can now list all games online.
-Only thing updated from v2.0 was chess.exe.
-Black color now at bottom like white in ANSI play.
Chess v2.0
- Last move now shows up! Must run ch19to20.exe in the games.dat directory.
- All new files. Replace chesspak.exe, ckmove.exe, and chess.exe.
- Chess now has a news file. "news.txt" located in chess.pth directory.
Chess v1.9
-Free M option. Now no excuse register chess now.
-First, added sopen() support. The program has intensive
checking in it for sharing games.dat on FALKEN. This
should run on every system with share.exe or share.com loaded.
(I would say it is bullet proof).
-Made new structure for games.dat. Added saving of flags for
en_passant and castling. This was needed before but I never
got around to doing it. Games.dat file hopefully won't
change for a WHILE!
-Updated chesspak.c and ckmove.c for compatability.
-Fixed a couple bugs for upper/lower case and loading board.
Chess v1.8
-A chess main menu was added. It looks like the following:
Main Menu
I] Instructions
S] Scores
P] Play right now
M] Move a piece and wait
You can now list scores from within chess. The M options is only allowed
in REGISTERED versions. This allows players to play games OFFLINE
when there buddy is not currently online.
-White and black scores are now saved. Additional messages passing
including a message telling you when your partner saved a game.
-Games are now saved into a single file called "games.dat". This file
keeps growing. Soon I will have a program to strip out finished games.
-Please start using share.exe or share.com. This will help with
sharing the games.dat file. The games.dat file is a binary file.
Chess v1.7
-Added Checkmate! System now figures out if you are in checkmate!
And game aborts. I have tested this a lot, because
it would be really annoying if it said you were in
checkmate when you really weren't.
-It now only asks if you want to load a saved game if there
are saved games for this particular user. Then it
lists them.
-Added support when playing chess that turns off
logon notices, pages and system messages. Late v6.41 of
FALKEN supports this.
-Fixed a problem where it would say you were in Check when
you really weren't.
Chess v1.6
-Fixed Castle Left/Castle Right problems. When a user
would see CR they could type CL and it would work!
Also, in ANSI the CR = Castle Right would stay up.
Same for CL. Also, fixed the logic to check for
castling.
-While you ropponent is moving, you can now "F"reshen your screen.
Chess v1.5
-Fixed ANSI playability. No more annoying clear screens.
Only your move changes. Unless you freshen screen.
Chess v1.4
-Added Option to save game. You can only resume game with
same player. This was very hard to do.
-Fixed some ANSI prompting.
Chess v1.3
-Added unregistered version. This version waits 10 seconds
every 10 total moves. Also displays unregistered message.
-Fixed some ANSI messages to speed program play.
-Generally tried to increase ANSI play.
