Or you would need some path finding software. To figure out what pieces you’d need to move first, to be able to remove the captured piece.
And I wonder what this board does when you promote a second queen?
It would also enable the movement of multiple pieces at once (for captures and make-room moves).
Squareoff handles it by first having the captured peice walk slowly off the board, then the capturing piece moves into its place; Looks rather immersion breaking to me.
You can also see it doing captures in the video: it does them the same way you say that "Square Off" ("rip off"? ;P) one does: by first moving the captured piece off the board.
I found a video of someone pitting the Grandmaster vs. the Square Off (which won, though of course that seems obvious given that we have gotten much better at gaming AI in the past few decades)!
FWIW, I honestly don't remember it being this loud, and am wondering if it is because it is old or because I am old ;P.
