Version:    demo, i guess .5b
System:     TI-83 Ashell/SOS
Released:   4-27-98
Description:
	2p Chess for your Ti-83.  Play against your friends.

*WARNING*  This game will not detect if you made an invalid move.
  So theoretically you could move your pawn and take the opponents king on the first move.  As in real chess, play maturely and most importantly legally.  This will make the gaming experience much more fun for you and your friends.


I. VERSION HISTORY

Version .5b
 2p, controlled by a mouse.  doesnt detect Check/Checkmate/legal moves


II. INSTALLATION (easy as 1,2,3)

1) Make sure you have Ashell 83 installed on your calculator
2) Send CHEKMATE.83P to your Ti-83
3) Run Ashell, then select "FTUN" and hit enter


III. CONTROLS:

Moving Cursor:
 move the mouse by using the directional pad.
 This game supports 8 way movement (which means the mouse can travel diagonally)

[2nd] - Select Piece, this chooses the piece which you want to move... it becomes the cursor
[2nd] - Move piece, once selected, a piece goes to this destination once 2nd is pressed for the second time

[Alpha] - DeSelect Piece, this returns the piece to its orignal spot, and the cursor returns to its mouse state.

[Del] - Undo move, undoes the last move made
 


IV. SPECIAL THANKS To(in no particular order):

	Bj Cardon - Encouraging me to make a chess game, and providing some ideas

	#ti-files - continued encouragement on all of my projects.
