Which language do you plan to use, and how experienced in it are you?

What you're proposing is actually pretty complex...

This task is quite a bit of complexity for someone new to the language of choice. First I would pick the language you want to use, read up on the ideas of classes, multidimensional arrays (2D arrays), and looping for start. After you get a board setup going, check out polymorphism for the method "move()"

Here is a great tip for starting out, create a base class called "piece" and then from that inherit into each piece type. Each classes will have functions for moving but those details will be hidden behind the move method.

I implemented such a game as part of a course requirement long ago and it turned out pretty nice.

Good luck and be VERY VERY patient. smile.gif
