Chess for Android. (Aart Bik). Bugs

[towforce]

the easiest way for setup a position is to use the original position of the pieces as INDICATOR to define the piece you want to input.

e.g. if you put a white pawn, just move the mouse on a square a2-h2.
if you want to tell the gui you want to input a rook, just click on a1 or h1.
for a black rook use h8 or a8.

this way you need no menue. and you don't need to switch pieces.
just tell by clicking on the original position of the pieces, and put the chose piece where you wish.

this method was invented by eastern german programmers in a dedicated chess computer. you could input a whole chess position on that dedicated chess computer without pressing any key. just moving the magnetic pieces
on the board.

Seems like a very good idea - but how is the computer informed about castling and en passant rights?

I am spending some spare time in this weekend implementing the Setup Position feature in Chess for Android.

Here is a sneak preview (subject to change).
