Thanks for helping keep SourceForge clean. X You seem to have CSS turned off. Briefly describe the problem required :. Instead of using raw x,y coordinates, you could create a class to define a Location in the board. This could provide you with methods to translate a Location into 'chess coordinates' as used in chess literature. A Location would be constructed as new Location x, y.

Also I'd rather go with a Board class that represents the 8x8 cell board and is the container for pieces, and can have a richer logic than just an array e. I would do a isValidMove Board boardState, int square abstract method, which would be overriden in each piece and called to highlight the valid movements in each drawing iteration. This same method would be called in movePiece int square to would check if the move is valid, and perform the movement if it is so.

In fact, the movePiece method would belong to the Board itself and would call the Piece. I would create a method called getValidMoves that returns the list of all possible moves for a given piece. That way you don't have to loop over the whole board to find the squares to highlight.

I'd also make the base class abstract so that methods such this don't need a base implementation. Remember, Java is object oriented language, divide the game in to logical objects and interact with methods. Keep methods as simple as possible like always. Make human readable code. You wanted to apply MVC pattern, you might want to consider your gui to be also your controller which has a reference to your actual board.

In King class you may need to override the move-method. For example in castling move, you need move the rook at the same time. Our objective was to develop and test a bug-free standalone game in Java, complete with a GUI and game logic components. It is possible to play both White and Black. The Java chess program on the left is a version of ChessPartner written in Java.

Of course not the full version, just a very small part of it! A chess program written in Java is much slower then a program written in C or assembler, thus the playing strength will be much less as well. Without offering a deep code review as I don't have a lot of specific Java knowledge , let's look at what a full 'move' entails in chess: Player chooses piece to move.
