An Error by Gopi On February 19, 2009
Dear Kaushal, sorry to say this, the work u have done is not perfect.The logic of the chess game which u have created s not correct.In the chess, the pawn should not jump front if any other item is there.But, in this it is jumping.For ex: place black bishop in the 3rd row first item.Then, move the pawn which is back off it(i.e., in the 2nd row first column, it can jump and will be placed in 4th row first column) like this checkout for all other pawns with this condition it will jump.But, the actual chess game logic is not like that only the knight show have the control of jumping and other should not have.so,Please change it.

I was hoping a one player game vs. the computer was an option with this game. If it is and I am not loading the game correctly please email me to let me know how I can get a one player game going on this program. Thank you.
