Chess Game Animation
Finally starting to learn how to use GIMP. Hopefully, the animation will come later if I finish adjusting some timing issues. As an afterthought, I should have placed the end of the game as temporary graphics instead of the beginning! Oh, well. ^.^'
addendum (10th Monday of 2008):
This works okay when tested locally, but something about caches cramps the timing when it's already via the web. I don't know how to fix this. Also, there might be double images due to some GIFs not loading properly. Ironically, all the images only add up to 100 kilobytes. ^.^'

The royal battle of wits is now the regal battle of smiles! Now that you've added movement, I can follow the movements of the pieces. You've got a blistering attack there courtesy of an early control of the center. White gave up his initiative and this lead to his demise. Well, in blunder's field where the smothered mate grows.

Kwix, you sure have a way with words!
Thanks again for the link that allowed me to get GIMP. Although it allowed me to make the animations, I still drew the chess smilies in MS Paint.
If I remember correctly, a smothered mate can only be made by a knight. ^,^'
Are you able to play chess often? I wish my skills in the game start improving.

A knight prancing to deliver a smothered mate is highly possible although it is popularly employed to execute a forking attack once the opportunity asserts itself with unwitting cooperation from the opponent. A rook or a queen is a lethal weapon of choice to choke the hapless king imprisoned by his own pawns in his royal chambers.
I used to play as a Sunday pastime when I was younger and romantically inclined now I'm only getting better at the latter.
