Unfortunately, I will not be continuing this project, at least not in this project or build. It has simply been too long, and when I want to return to the project I will likely end up simply rebuilding the entire thing, but hopefully a bit better this time.

This project has been in the making for over 2 years. It has been restarted 3 times, and I've had to take many breaks from working on it in order to preserve my sanity. But it looks like I finally have a setup that I can finish, so I'm going to upload what I have and see what comes of it.

For updates on this please subscribe to me on PMC, as I plan on updating this project as I build it. If you like what you see, feel free to check out my youtube channel for other redstone builds, most of what I upload doesn't get posted here!

Planned features:

• 2 players games
  
• Completely cheat proof, including turns and piece logic
  
• Easy to read display, with redstone lamps used for pieces
  
• Tripwire grid control
  
• Easy piece movement and selection
  
• Move counter
  
• Check and win detection
  
• Automatic reset and start
  
• Command blocks only used in control panels so there are no ugly wires going between the board and the player. Everything else is hardwired.
  

To Do: (Crossed out items are done, bold items are currently being worked on, normal items are yet to be done)

• Create control panels for players
  
• Add block swappers for redstone lamp screen
  
• Wire memory arrays to board
  
• Create movement logic for individual pieces: White Pawns, Black Pawns, Rooks, Knights, Bishops, Queens, King
  
• Copy existing piece logic onto black side of board
  
• Connect color memories to piece logic
  
• Connect control panels to memory arrays and piece logic
  
• Add ability to move and remove pieces based on piece logic
  
• Add turn counter, to keep track of turns and count the number of moves
  

It's been a while, but I think I'm finally coming within reach of completing such an ambitious project. I plan on updating this page as I complete the project, and posting a download when I finish the whole thing. Hopefully you can stay around until I'm done :)
