Subject: [Elpa package] Emacs chess questions/issues
Date: Tue, 9 Sep 2014 19:25:29 +0000 (UTC) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <loom.20140909T212352-515@post.gmane.org> (raw)
Hi emacs chess users,
I tried emacs chess library from elpa and found some issues or
undocumented behaviour. I contacted with the maintainer of this
package however due to lack of time he cannot address my questions
now. In the meantime, I would like to ask those questions to
emacs-chess users.
1. How to cancel or revert moves and restart playing the game. Typing
"<" does not allow it.
2. Why in chess display mode you cannot type ":" to eval-expression ?
Is ":" binding unset? For example I would like to check if I am in
editing mode with (chess-display-active-p).
3. I have chessboard in edit mode with "C-u M-x chess RET none" then I
yank a fen position with C-y. How to then start playing against a
specified (or default) chess engine?
4. Are chess squares and pieces in chess display buffer scalable?
5. I have a pgn file with a game open in a buffer (pgn mode). I show the
final position typing
"SPC". Last move was done by black, then I what to continue with
moves in edit mode, but I cannot move white pieces since I got a
message that it is a black turn.
6. Is is possible to get a buffer with calculation of moves done
by chess engines?
Regards,
Seweryn
