Multiplayer Online Java Chess
New game online: Online Chess.
It has been online for some time now but I have just brought the computer player up at a reasonable level. The game is a test case for my game server that allows for multiplayer games via Java applets.
The game and the multiplayer platform is different in the way that it does not require you to register. Instead you are given a random login and you only need to pick an avatar (a boy or a boy) and you are set to play. The idea behind this design is to open the game to more casual visitors - visitors who don’t play regular and thus are turned of by cumbersome registration procedures.
The computer player is based the standard min/max algorithm with extended search depth for captures. It does not have an opening book so its opening game is entirely up to its evaluation heurestics and will thus open quite a bit different than other computer chess programs.

The excessive coverage of the American presidential election seems to back up Senator Kerry's remark that "you are not just voting for the President of the United States, but you are voting for the leader of the Free World." And all the time there was me thinking that we were allowed to vote for our own leader.
Thomas Woolley, Y Fenni, Wales from BBC online's have your say.

The chess / othello server is a wee bit unstable at the moment. I am working on it.
