This is probably a really basic question, but I'm trying to implement a game in which each turn a player may move all of the pieces he currently has on the board. Is there an easy way to do this? The number and type of pieces that a player has on the board on a given turn may vary. |

You could set an attribute, HasMoved for each piece after it's moved and use an add-partial instead of add. To allow for deciding not to move all pieces, create a piece of to one side for them to click, much like the pass button in Eight Stone Chess by Fergus Duniho. |

Unless the number of pieces is very small, you will have problems, because the search depth will not even reach your opponent's replies to your move. That is why Zillions plays Double-move chess so poorly. |

This is another question related to multiple move games. Is it possible for one Zillions player to force another player to skip their next go? |

Simon asked:

That's easily anwered in the positive:
You set a piece on a dummy position as an indicator and verify this when it is the opponent's turn. |
