MCU MAX Chess - brizza - 13-09-2026
Playing around with AI again :-)
RE: MCU MAX Chess - Robert - 14-09-2026
I'd like to make some suggestions about this game.
1. Use the blank right-hand side to place a scrolling lists of past moves, including where the piece came from. eg Pd2-d4 etc
2. Once a piece is selected you can't change your mind - make it so you can. I tried pressing space to cancel but it got reselected by itself.

You can deselect by hitting enter or the space bar again. it's just very slow sometimes, alot of processing going on. you can alway use U undo but that can take a while aswell.

Here's a updated file for MCUCHESSÂ with a printer option.
Also added CRYRUSG.zip another chess game with a different chess engine that is more responsive.

Didn't have any luck with deselecting. Pressing space deselects but after about 2-3 seconds it turns back on by itself. Pressing U only beeps at me until the key is released.
I'll try CYRUSG and see how it goes. EDIT: It's too large to fit into 32k - unable to test.
