History:
1.06 - Added CyberGraphics (cybergraphics.library) support alongside
Picasso96. Single binary auto-detects available RTG system.
Numerous bugfixes: knight animation (pieces disappearing under
knight), percentage display during AI thinking, last move
highlight for black pieces, debug output removed. (July 2026)
1.05 - RTG version (Picasso96, 16-bit HiColor, 640x480/800x600).
Crystal Staunton pieces from BMP. Built-in 8x14 bitmap font.
Thank you, Domenico Lattanzi, for identifying the bug and
helping to fix the castling issue involving the king and rook.
(May 2026)
1.04 - 4 piece sets, opening book 14 variants, full SEE, level 7,
hint key (H), PGN date+result, critical move_pool bugfix
(May 2026)
1.03 - Improved evaluation, check extension, adaptive null-move,
extended futility pruning depth 3, aggressive LMR (May 2026)
1.02 - First 68040/68060 binary. Single binary auto-detects CPU.
Level 6 Master added (May 2026)
--- ENGLISH -------------------------------------------------------
Chess game optimised for Amiga with 68040 or 68060 processor and an
RTG graphics card. Supports both Picasso96 and CyberGraphics - the
binary auto-detects which RTG system is available at startup.
Requires Kickstart 3.0 or higher.
Tested on Amiga 4000 Desktop BFG9060 (68060 100 MHz) with PicassoIV.
Also tested on WinUAE with emulated PicassoIV.
Use Chess_RTG_Prefs to select screen resolution (640x480 or 800x600).
This project is proof that Claude AI (Anthropic) handles Amiga C
programming surprisingly well. The Amiga community finally has a new
chess game in 2026!
