Thanks, Michel. I got Grotesque Chess programmed. The one glitch is that I couldn't get it to work without including both styles of castling. Unlike Wildebeest Chess, Grotesque Chess doesn't let the King castle by moving one space. So I had no use for moving the King to the Rook's space, but when I left out the code for that, no castling worked. So I put it back in and mapped it to castling moves that were already covered by moving the King to an empty space. I have thought of studying the base model to figure out how I could rewrite the code for castling, but even with my experience programming the rules of Chess multiple times in my own language, it's still hard to follow. Is there any documentation on the base model for Chess?
