FAQ for owners Here are answers to some frequently-asked questions... Question: How do I castle in tChess? If castling is legal, you will be able to move your king 2 squares in the direction you want to castle. If this isn't showing up as a legal move, remember: You can't castle if you're in check You can't castle if the squre your king moves across, or moves to, is being attacked You can't castle if your king or rook has been moved Question: Why won't tChess let me make a legal move? Sometimes moves seem legal but aren't. Make sure you aren't in check, and make sure the move you want to make would not leave you in check. Question: tChess captured a pawn with a strange move. Help! There's a move in chess called en passant. Immediately after you push a pawn 2 squares, your opponent has the option of capturing that pawn (with a pawn) as if it had only been pushed 1 square. Question: What is a "stalemate"? A stalemate is when the side to move doesn't have any legal moves and isn't in check. Since he can't move, but hasn't lost, it is scored as a draw. Question: Can you add a particular feature to tChess? I will consider every feature request. Please send an e-mail to tchessgame@gmail.com.
