OverView¶

The goal of our project was to make a completely function chess board on the mbed. Our chess has the ability to play against an ai which can see three moves into the feature. The chess game also has the a two player function. The chess game is controlled either Bluetooth or a joystick. The chess game is displayed on a uLCD.
