Chess
Chess is a game made with CRYENGINE from blank C++ project. This is my personal project and I'm the only developer working on it. I do all the code, models, textures, lightning and user interface.
Main features
The main features are:
- Uses CRYENGINE 5 as game engine.
- Different moves format: you can use SAN, PCN or LAN format. You can hide the moves panel.
- Free camera: you can freely translate and rotate the camera. Includes also 8 predefined cameras.
- 2D board: to make easier visually to follow the game.
- Currently works with Stockfish 8 as chess engine.
- Helpers: showing available moves over the board.
Planning features are:
- Playing online: you can play against other remote players or friends.
- More UCI engines: other engines like Houdini, Critter or Rybka are being added.
- Load / save games: allowing to continue later or pass the game to another friend.
- More options: configuring engines, interface and gameplay.
- Different environments: nice environments, tables and pieces sets.

This project is not finished but you can try what I have done so far. It's work in progress, it is NOT alpha or pre-alpha and could not be representative of the final game. It could not even start or crash without notice. If you are confortable trying a work in progress game you can download the latest nightly build.
I provide x86 and x64 builds. This is a demo limited to 20 moves (counting both players).
Note: The Visual C++ 11.0 x86 and x64 redistributable packages must be installed. They are available at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2977003
Any feedback is welcome.
