Hello. I just played the Picocalc version, and found a bug: With black, if AI has a rook replaced with another piece (a bishop) it still castle and magically replace the bishop by a rook during the move.

Rgds,...

Hey thanks for playing my game. Unfortunately picocalc took my game without asking so i don't feel like fixing anything for them.

Chessnovice is not a very good chess game, try my much improved version of chess here: https://johnybot.itch.io/cness

Hello, thank you for your answer. Sorry to hear you've been badly treated by picocalc. This was about the NES version in fact, maybe on the real machine it desn't behave the same. Thank you for your link anyway, Regards.
