Trial to Musketeer Chess to Fairy Stockfish

Open musketeerchess opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Hi Fabian, I started programming again after more than a decade of absence. It wasn't easy. I got inspiration mainly from your work and some other work. Musketeer Gating is named commitGates (didn't want to change the name first used to add Musketeer Chess specific gating, updating seirawanGating). Once these changes are found to be correct, i'll change it to musketeerGating.

Added also some other predefined pieces like Hawk, Leopard, Fortress, Musketeer Elephant, Musketeer Cannon, Unicorn and Spider. The other original pieces (Archbishop Chancellor Amazon).

I tried to compile the changes, for the moment i haven't succeeded. So your help is needed.

Thanks

This will need quite some rework if it should have a chance of merging, mostly due to the changes that have happened since this code was written.

  • the set of built-in piece types is pretty much settled now, so any new piece type has to be implemented as a custom piece, not a built-in one (also makes the change much simpler anyway)
  • since * is now supported as a brick/inaccessible square, the interference between its usage in musketeer chess and its normal usage has to be considered. Potentially it could be considered to actually consider them as brick squares, though I don't know whether GUIs like Winboard actually do this with respect to coordinates (rank numbering).
  • I see no move generation or validation changes in this PR, only the FEN and move mechanism itself.
