;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;; ;; ;; Routines for manipulating chess plies ;; ;;; Commentary: ;; A ply is the differential between two positions. Or, it is the ;; coordinate transformations applied to one position in order to ;; arrive at the following position. It is also informally called "a ;; move". ;; ;; A ply is represented in Lisp using a cons cell of the form: ;; ;; (BASE-POSITION . ;; (FROM-COORD1 TO-COORD1 [FROM-COORD2 TO-COORD2] [KEYWORDS])) ;; ;; The KEYWORDS indicate special actions that are not really chess ;; moves: ;; ;; :promote PIECE ; promote pawn to PIECE on arrival ;; :resign ; a resignation causes the game to end ;; :stalemate ;; :repetition ;; :perpetual ;; :check ; check is announced ;; :checkmate ;; :draw ; a draw was offered and accepted ;; :draw-offered ; a draw was offered but not accepted ;; ;; A ply may be represented in ASCII by printing the FEN string of the ;; base position, and then printing the positional transformation in ;; algebraic notation. Since the starting position is usually known, ;; the FEN string is optional. A ply may be represented graphically ;; by moving the chess piece(s) involved. It may be rendered verbally ;; by voicing which piece is to move, where it will move to, and what ;; will happen a result of the move (piece capture, check, etc). ;; ;; Plies may be sent over network connections, postal mail, e-mail, ;; etc., so long as the current position is maintained at both sides. ;; Transmitting the base position's FEN string along with the ply ;; offers a form of confirmation during the course of a game. ;;; Code: (eval-when-compile (require 'cl)) (require 'chess-pos) (require 'chess-algebraic) (defgroup chess-ply nil "Routines for manipulating chess plies." :group 'chess) (defsubst chess-ply-pos (ply) "Returns the base position associated with PLY."
