===End it?===
It has been two years and there is still only one solution Abu. I think the RC community thinks this is too large a task. I vote that this be deleted. Maybe the suggestion of having a smaller chess-related task should be followed? (Something where a succinct algorithm can be shown)? --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 06:39, 16 April 2014 (UTC)
I think deletion is a bit extreme. Certainly this task is enormous. I vote that rather than delete the task, simplify it to "checkmate with a rook and a king versus king" with a fixed starting position. Or maybe "given a FEN string, generate and print legal moves" [[User:Toadofsky|Toadofsky]] ([[User talk:Toadofsky|talk]]) 17:44, 16 April 2015 (UTC)
=== Sub-tasks ===
I have created some sub-tasks, and specified 'basic' and 'advanced' options for each of them. This should hopefully spur some people to implement some of them as I think they are quite manageable (at the basic level anyway). I might add implementations later. Perhaps the tasks could be further broken down? Suggestions welcome. [[User:TobyK|TobyK]] ([[User talk:TobyK|talk]]) 19:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
: I shouldn't mention this draft task in your subtasks but make them smaller and self-sufficient. It does look as if this will never leave draft status and will likely be deleted. The Python examples fit a task description of "Name a chess library for your language" which seems more workable than this current task for RC, but still wouldn't make a good RC task in my opinion. --[[User:Paddy3118|Paddy3118]] ([[User talk:Paddy3118|talk]]) 22:03, 18 May 2015 (UTC)
: Clearly the sub-tasks have not helped and should be deleted. --[[User:Petelomax|Pete Lomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 11:00, 19 July 2019 (UTC)
::I'd second that.
::It's more than 4 years now since the sub-tasks were created and no solutions have been posted.
::I doubt in any case whether anyone trying to write something from scratch would get much beyond the first sub-task which is hard enough to do in a reasonable time for RC purposes. --[[User:PureFox|PureFox]] ([[User talk:PureFox|talk]]) 14:47, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
