Default New game sneak peek: Chess 960!



What the?! Yep, randomized Chess is coming to wifight! 960 refers to the total number of possible back row configurations wherein it is still possible to castle. I'm actually still in the middle of figuring out if/how I will code the castling but I just had to share what I had so far.

Now, one of the 960 positions is the normal starting position, which might not really give the variety you're looking for, so I'm also planning on making Chess 959, which is pretty much exactly the same but just guarantees the normal position will never come up.
