OK, I think I'll let you see my game
It still needs some work and I'll be doing small changes today (and after the weekend, when the winner will be known), but...
URL for KiSS:
http://kml.jacek.it.pl/cgi-bin/chess.cgi

Press 1-8 to enter the move (like e2e4) than press ENTER. You can edit your move with RETURN (deleting last character).
MENU brings you the main menu, ANGLE changes colors of background and the board. On level 0 PREV moves back and SEARCH gives a hint.

I'm sure you wonder how this works (at least I would if I were you).
So:

I do not use any gifs loaded into kiss image cache, because I would need to much of them. And this approach lets you play the game even just after browsing kml portals or playing other games.

The game has been written as a cgi script in perl. It connects to the application server (written be me in C and running on a different machine).
Application server manages chess engines.
Chess engine can be local (running on the same machine as application server) or remote (currently not used, but can be useful to distribute the load).
In future versions application server will be able to connect to internet chess game servers to let you play against humans.

My game looks very good with the bold font firmware, which can't be said about every other game.

And everything has been done using the free software, no licences have been infringed

BTW, how about the other chess game that was announced as entering the contest? I can't see it on the contest page now...

[Hi-Jack]

They revoked their entry in the Game Contest...
Only the games on the contest page are entered in the final list...

(or answered on the mails for info)
I'll be checking out Chess tonight and try to make some false moves...

I never realised KML looked different using that firmware (i use draculas) ... how different is the text?

Just install FW with bold font from ET website (actul version here - http://www.jacek.it.pl/kiss/fw/283/pal/ ) and try it for yourself.

Generally it's wider font so every line of text is a bit longer, so if text is in frame or something is on right side it can overlap.

I meant kiss player. Clicking the link above with generic html browser is useless. It will redirect you to www.jacek.it.pl/kiss

KMLBrowser may work (I haven't checked this, but I haven't blocked this).

Hehe, i bet you get just as many people clicking the link on a PC as visit with a KiSS player... i dunno what people expect to see!

Sure. Move the king to the rook (ie. e1g1).
