This Chess Game is unlike any other here on VBC. The main difference is that it has a DLL Chess Engine.
Before I continue, I have to explain that this project was not created by me. It was originally submitted by Marjan Mrak. I only painstakingly translated it from Slovenian to English. You will really admire my effort when you learn that I don't know a single word in Slovenian!!
I only translated the Game project form Slovenian to English. The DLL project is still in Slovenian. However, you can, now, understand how to utilize the DLL. I am planning on translating the Chess Engine DLL, too. However, it is gonna take a while and I am planning to rewrite most of it...
The great advantage of a DLL is that it will greatly facilitate the transportation of the Chess Engine form this project into your Chess Game project. I saw many Chess Game projects here on VBC that allow you to play against another human opponent on your computer or even play against an opponent via the internet. However, I hardly ever have seen a Project where you can play against your own computer. If you have programmed a Chess game that does not have the capability of playing with you, you can, now, add this feature to it.
The Chess Engine is not brilliant but it is a start...

I have updated the DLL, as suggested by Norm Cook.
