Miniature/0.4 De Lucena

A smothered mate as explained in De Lucena's book Repetición de Amores y Arte de Ajedrez con CI Iuegos de Partido in 1497

Miniature finally plays real chess online! You might find rough corners and room for improvement but the basics are in place. This is why we have decided to call this release after Luis Ramírez de Lucena who, without being apparently a great master, had the patience to document the modern rules of chess at their birth.

Now users can login to http://freechess.org aka FICS as guests or registered users and send / take challenges to & from other players. This already fulfills the needs of many, but those expecting even more fun will be happy to know that chatting with your opponent is also supported.

We are aiming to publish this version in the Ovi Store for the Nokia N9 and N950. Packages ready for other Qt enabled OSs are welcome!

DE LUCENA RELEASE FEATURES
