Detailed Description

A board for N-Check Chess.

N-Check chess is a variant of standard chess with an additional rule. A player also wins when he gives check n times in a game.

Note: Rules: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three-check_chess

NCheckBoard uses Polyglot-compatible zobrist position keys, so N-Check opening books in Polyglot format could be used.

Note: Standard Chess Rules: http://www.fide.com/component/handbook/?id=124&view=article

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ NCheckBoard()

Chess::NCheckBoard::NCheckBoard ( int n = 3 )

protected

Creates a new NCheckBoard object. Giving the n -th check wins. Defaults to Three-Check (variant: 3Check)

Member Function Documentation

◆ checkLimit()

int Chess::NCheckBoard::checkLimit ( ) const

inlineprotected

Returns total number of checks necessary to win

◆ checksToWin()

int Chess::NCheckBoard::checksToWin ( Side side ) const

Returns number of checks yet needed for side to win

◆ copy()

Board * Chess::NCheckBoard::copy ( ) const

virtual

Creates and returns a deep copy of this board.

Reimplemented from Chess::StandardBoard.

Reimplemented in Chess::FiveCheckBoard, and Chess::ThreeCheckBoard.

◆ defaultFenString()

QString Chess::NCheckBoard::defaultFenString ( ) const

virtual

Returns the variant's default starting FEN string.

Reimplemented from Chess::StandardBoard.

◆ result()

Result Chess::NCheckBoard::result ( )

virtual

Returns the result of the game, or Result::NoResult if the game is in progress.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ variant()

QString Chess::NCheckBoard::variant ( ) const

virtual

Returns the name of the chess variant.

Reimplemented from Chess::StandardBoard.

◆ vFenIncludeString()

QString Chess::NCheckBoard::vFenIncludeString ( Board::FenNotation notation ) const

protectedvirtual

A format to extend FEN for N-Check was suggested by H. G. Muller: The numbers of checks to win the game are given for both sides in succession of the the en passant field. They are separated by a single plus sign "+" (check symbol) without any other character in between (like 3+3). In contrast SCIDB and Lichess use two plus signs and forward counters (like +0+0) appended to the normal FEN.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vInitialize()

void Chess::NCheckBoard::vInitialize ( )

protectedvirtual

Initializes the variant.

This function is called by initialize(). Subclasses shouldn't generally call it by themselves.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vMakeMove()

void Chess::NCheckBoard::vMakeMove	(	const Move &	move,
		BoardTransition *	transition )

protectedvirtual

Makes move on the board.

This function is called by makeMove(), and should take care of everything except changing the side to move and updating the move history.

Details about piece movement, promotions, captures, drops, etc. should be stored in transition. If transition is 0 then it should be ignored.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vSetFenString()

bool Chess::NCheckBoard::vSetFenString ( const QStringList & fen )

protectedvirtual

This method extracts check counters from extended FEN (like Xboard / Stockfish and SCIDB / Lichess formats) and is tolerant to standard FEN. If no counters can be extracted (e.g. from a standard FEN) the number of checks to win will be set to checkLimit. Calls StandardBoard method for FEN handling.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vUndoMove()

void Chess::NCheckBoard::vUndoMove ( const Move & move )

protectedvirtual

Reverses move on the board.

This function is called by undoMove() after changing the side to move to the side that made it.

Note: Unlike vMakeMove(), this function doesn't require subclasses to update the zobrist position key.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.
