someone took ychess' name

I googled ychess and turns out someone took the name already, oh noes! I changed it to ylchess for now, probably won't stay that way though. Anyone have any suggestions for a better name?

ychess pre-alpha preview release

Last time I blogged I said I was gonna bone up on Cocoa. I did, then I started writing a chess program. After less than a month of development it's already a full fledged pgn reader plus a little more. It knows all the rules to chess (actually not the 50 move rule, or the 3 position rule, but meh), and you can play a game with yourself on it if you are really bored. I'm about to rip out the guts of the data structures behind it and replace it with a database. Before doing so I thought maybe it would be a good idea to put up a working preview release for public consumption. Enjoy linkies.

Enjoy screenies:
