Download this project! Project Notes
As far as I know, this is the first functional chess engine for Scratch. - You play white, the computer plays black. - "New Game", obviously, resets the board for a new game. This may take a few seconds. - To move, click on a piece. All possible moves will be highlighted, and clicking on a highlighted square will move the piece to it. - After you move, "Thinking..." will appear at the top of the screen. The white line above that indicates the progress of the AI engine. - The checkmate and stalemate detection is not thoroughly tested, but it should work. - All of the piece and board images were created by me in Google SketchUp, rendered in Kerkythea, and finished with the GIMP. The "New Game" images were also made in the GIMP. Any web search engine should find these free programs. - Please be patient with the AI; Scratch is not well suited to the computational demands of even this primitive chess engine.

umm you can 3 turn it every time...
Pretty good except that the computer did do impossible moves.
White can take out White
The Pawn isn't supposed to move backwards
I know this is a good game, but if you are not the best chess player this could take hours.
the "thinking..." part was too long, but other than that,it's really good
Just use turbo mode!
Here's a really cool project that you all should see! (link to project)
Oops. Wrong Link. Real link here. (link to project)
S
I beat this in 5 moves and in 4 moves once.
I don't know who you are but either you already have a career in computer programming, or you could have one.
A little glitchy, but no flaws compared to how good this is! :D
You sir are a very talented scratcher!
I love this chess engine. I play chess with my dad a lot, so this is cake to win. You should have harder difficulties because there are some other skilled chess players on Scratch.
You should make the player able to play as black. :)
How did you make it think for its self? It's truly amazing. check out my stuff.
If you run it whit flash player it will go faster
oh, so your the one who made this(this was one of the first projects i saw when i first started doing scratch)
The AI is terrific!
HOW DOES IT THING!!!
*THINK!!!*
It's slow even with turbo, biut I have to tell you that it's totally incredible how you made this with scratch. I can't beleive you programmed the compouter to think
What is Turbo
REALLY SMART!!! I love chess and I enjoyed it lots. It's just a tad slow, but who cares?? xxx
dont know if this is where to post it but i have i bug report for this project i was playing and moved a piece to pressure the black queen the queen responded by moving back one square, but the black king was in that square and so was taken. the game didn't recognize lose of king and so the game continued with black now having no king
this chess engine is best to play online because it is faster than you download it
Turn on TURBO MODE!!! FTW
Too long thinking time
Even though it takes about 1 minute or more to get the computer to make a move I'm still having fun playing chess.(Even though I'm not so good at it!) Your virtual chess game is amazing and good scripting! Make more!
Thats amazing how you made the computer know what moves to play in scratch
This is, by far, the best project I've ever seen on Scratch. You even included en passant! X)
I agree this is EPIC for your first project on scratch midecah!
everyone who thinks this project is so awseome go in to a project that is called "temple run real" and comment!!!
Wow... a chess game on scratch with less than 200 scripts. I am truly amazed. Even a chess game on scratch is a marvel.
cool
awesome
Put this in my gallery!
Awesome!
its auto white >:I how chess racist >:IIII
><
(view all replies)great!
extremely fun but hard if people aren't good at chess
i love it
I used scholars mate! :D
*scholar's
cooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Hey if you want to see a cool game, see my game wandering knight 4.0
I suggest that you add an openings book. I am trying this now, but I am not good with scratch
nice but takes 4 ever
where did you get the art?
awesome!
AMAZING!!!
Totally Awesome!!
wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OMFG ITS SOOOOO EPIC!!!!!!!!
Could I use this engine for a project? You will get lots of credit.
cool, this is my favorite game! how did you make pieces that realistic?
OMIGOD SO F'en AWESOME
HOW DOES THIS WORK?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!? SO EPIC!!!
this is so cool! I use Google SketchUp and GIMP too!
please make the think time shorter
I win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P actually my friend won he Is Epic!!!!!
You know, when i play with my dad he takes about the same amount of time to think, so i'm used to it... Have you seen the chess game based on yours that made the front page? Funny how its like a remix of a remix of a copy.
really good, but never blocks the 4 move checkmate, and i let it get me in fools mate and didnt take it
wow...
this is the best project ever!!!!!!
Cool!!
