Detailed Description

A board for Placement Chess, a Shuffle-Chess variant (a.k.a. Pre-Chess, Meta-Chess, Bronstein Chess, Benko Chess).

This game was proposed by several authors like David Bronstein, USSR ~1948, and Pal Benkö, USA 1978.

Placement Chess follows the rules of standard chess but each side begins only with their Pawns on their second rank. Then the players take turns to place their pieces freely on the base rank. There is one restriction: any side must place their Bishops on squares with different colours.

After all pieces have been placed White makes the first move. There are 2880*2880 opening positions.

Castling rights are established only for Kings on the e-file and for Rooks on corner squares.

Note: : Set-up phase with alternating white and black piece drops.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ PlacementBoard()

Chess::PlacementBoard::PlacementBoard ( )

Creates a new PlacementBoard object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ copy()

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

virtual

Creates and returns a deep copy of this board.

Implements Chess::Board.

◆ defaultFenString()

QString Chess::PlacementBoard::defaultFenString ( ) const

virtual

Returns the variant's default starting FEN string.

Implements Chess::Board.

◆ generateMovesForPiece()

void Chess::PlacementBoard::generateMovesForPiece	(	QVarLengthArray< Move > &	moves,
		int	pieceType,
		int	square ) const

protectedvirtual

Generates pseudo-legal moves for a piece of pieceType at square square.

Note: It doesn't matter if square doesn't contain a piece of pieceType, the move generator ignores it.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ isLegalPosition()

bool Chess::PlacementBoard::isLegalPosition ( )

protectedvirtual

Returns true if the current position is a legal position. If the position isn't legal it usually means that the last move was illegal.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ kingsCountAssertion()

bool Chess::PlacementBoard::kingsCountAssertion	(	int	whiteKings,
		int	blackKings ) const

protectedvirtual

Returns true if both counts of kings given by whiteKings and blackKings are correct. WesternBoard expects exactly one king per side.

See also: AntiBoard; HordeBoard

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ reservePieceTypes()

QList< Piece > Chess::PlacementBoard::reservePieceTypes ( ) const

protectedvirtual

Returns a list of piece types that can be in the reserve, ie. captured pieces that can be dropped on the board.

The default implementation returns an empty list.

Reimplemented from Chess::Board.

◆ result()

Result Chess::PlacementBoard::result ( )

virtual

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

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ variant()

QString Chess::PlacementBoard::variant ( ) const

virtual

Returns the name of the chess variant.

Implements Chess::Board.

◆ variantHasDrops()

bool Chess::PlacementBoard::variantHasDrops ( ) const

virtual

Returns true if the variant allows piece drops. The default value is false.

See also: CrazyhouseBoard

Reimplemented from Chess::Board.

◆ vMakeMove()

void Chess::PlacementBoard::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::PlacementBoard::vSetFenString ( const QStringList & fen )

protectedvirtual

Sets the board according to a FEN string.

This function is called by setFenString(). The board state, side to move and hand pieces are handled by the base class. This function reads the rest of the string, if any.

Reimplemented from Chess::WesternBoard.

◆ vUndoMove()

void Chess::PlacementBoard::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.
