Hi Christopher!

It's like this (Fixed width font required...):
Line1: P0| |P0| |P1| |P1| |P1
Line2: |P0| |P0| |P1| |P1|
On alternating scannlines either 4 or 5 sprites need to be displayed, so worst case (Line1) 3 timed writes are required (2nd P0, 2nd and 3rd P1). To make things worse, each of those 9 pieces can have it's own color...
Wait... can't work this way... I'm not sure, having not analysed "Video Chess" too deeply, but in order to get the color writes done, I assume the layout should rather be middle and not close spacings:
Line1: P0| |P1| |P0| |P1| |P0
Line2: |P0| |P1| |P0| |P1|
I'm also not sure about positioning. With Fine Movement you won't get a +-8 range, so it'll be RESP'd every 2nd line as well, or?
Anyway, I'll check out your source and binary tonight :-)
Greetings,
Manuel
