Abstract

An accelerated game engine is described for calculating and illustrating legal moves for an active player's pieces. The game engine obtains a game state of the four-player chess game describing positions of pieces. The game engine removes King moves placing a King of a first active player in check as invalid. The game engine removes non-King removes placing the King in check as invalid. The game engine evaluates whether the King is currently in check, and, if so, evaluates how many checks the King is in. If there is more than one check, then the game engine removes protection moves as invalid, while retaining King escape moves as valid. If there is one check, the game engine retains protection moves and identifies any counter checkmate move as valid. Based on the calculations, the game engine can illustrate valid moves for selected pieces by the player.
