Here's something you probably didn't expect.

Our chess system has been updated and can now do the following:

* Detects checkmate.
* Detects threefold repetition.
* Detects stalemate.
* Detects insufficient material for checkmate.
* Now supports clickable MXP.
* Notates moves in the game by using CHESSLOG.
* Notation on the board is now reversed correctly for dark pieces.
* Square colour on the board is no longer incorrect for dark pieces.
* Can show you legal moves by using MOVE <position>.
* The TAKEBACK command now requires you to AGREE.
* Retains old games so you can review them.

Check out HELP CHESS for commands and where/how to play.

Penned by my hand on Kinsday, the 2nd of Lexadian, in the year 17 AC.
