A first attempt at a pico8 chess engine.
Move generation is currently unoptimised so AI is fairly slow and doesn't have a great depth search.
-- Controls --
Use arrow keys to select a piece
Use z to confirm
Use x to disable AI


Not too shabby! The music is Pachabels canon, yeah? AI isn't too hard to trick, but it isn't stupid either. I look forward to the refinement of this cart!


I played twice and got beat both times, I suck at chess but star for this excellent cart!



Owned.
Second game though. The first attempt I had a major advantage but then both me and the ai screwed up so it was a near victory. This works pretty well, but it occasionally seems to give the player the ability to move the ai pieces. In the one above, I noticed the ai doesn't know how to break defenses, so just slowly moving forward with an unyielding wall where nothing is unprotected totally destroys it.


@kimiyoribaka if you press x it disables the ai and allows you to control the ai


Great game! However I noticed the board is inverted, since the queen's rook square is white, and should be black, and this is engine is quite weak, but it still very impressive!
