   small problem with Ascii Chess game
  this will my first attempt at making a game. So forgive me if i have over looked anything.i have implemented the movement of all the chess pieces.but the only a few problems i have is making the board chess board, and how would i go about deleting the characters when a piece is taken.im pretty much stuck on this guys any help will be much appricated 
  how did you implement the chess peices movements without first implementing the chess board? hum... maybe you could be a bit more precise with your problem... ;  do you mean for drawing the pieces and board, or for your program''s internal representation of it all?
