SearchAndDestroyChessConsole is a special kind of chess game. The difference with a regular chess game is, that is SearchAndDestroyChessConsole you can only view that part of the board that is 'seen' by your pieces.

There is also a graphical/Windows version of SearchAndDestroyChessConsole called SearchAndDestroyChess.

The following special rules apply to SearchAndDestroyChessConsole:

0. a player cannot be in chess, nor in checkmate. Instead, if the king is captured, the capturer wins. This is because it is possible for a king to be in check without knowing it.

1. Normal rules to en passant capture apply. But when a pawn can be captured en passant, this pawn is visible. This makes a pawn look sideways for only one turn. This is because the attacker must be able to see that he/she can make an en passant capture.

2. Normal rules to castling apply, except that castling can take place when in chess and through attacked squares. This is because it is possible for a king to be or getting in check without knowing it.

3. a pawn always gets promoted to a queen.

The notation rules in SearchAndDestroyChessConsole follow the regular algebraic notation, except for the following:

0. The piece's type must be written in capital. For example: 'Nb1 c3', instead of 'nb1 c3'.

1. You must always specify where is piece comes from, so instead of 'e4' you must write 'e2 e4'.

2. You must correctly write whether a move is a capture or not: 'Nb1 c3' when it is no capture, 'Nb1xc3' when it is a capture

3. Because a pawn is always promoted to a queen, you only need to write the pawn move. For example: 'e7 e8'

4. For castling use the standard '0-0-0' or '0-0' notation, instead of the incorrect 'Ke1 g1'.

SearchAndDestroyChessConsole is programmed in C++ using the IDE C++ Builder 6.0. It uses the STL and Boost library.
