Describe in detail what is desired: (Attach mockup pictures if applicable)
User can save their game, which will save the location of all the pieces, and 
the move log. Will use HTML5 Local Storage.


Give a short explanation of why you think the feature is useful:
Useful when a game is in progress and it cannot be finished at the moment.

Describe in detail what is desired: (Attach mockup pictures if applicable)
Multiplayer. Still need to think of how exactly. Need to learn socket 
programming and WebSockets.


Give a short explanation of why you think the feature is useful:
BBC is meant to be a substitute chess board. Currently it can only be used for 
local games. Its purpose will be much more useful if there is no restriction to 
play remotely, so that users can play each other over a network.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Castle from any side
2. This requires player to use two moves (1 to move king, 1 to move rook)

Expected: move log shows it as one move
Actual: move log shows it as two moves

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version

Please provide any additional information below.
0-0 is used for castling kingside and 0-0-0 for castling queenside

Describe in detail what is desired: (Attach mockup pictures if applicable)
Some easter egg when Konami code is entered


Give a short explanation of why you think the feature is useful:
It's awesome. For instance, something like...

if ( window.addEventListener ) {
        var kkeys = [], konami = "38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39,66,65";
        window.addEventListener("keydown", function(e){
                kkeys.push( e.keyCode );
                if ( kkeys.toString().indexOf( konami ) >= 0 )
                        window.location = "some URL";
        }, true);
}

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Highlight a square
2. Change board style
3. Now select another square

Expected:
Previously highlighted square has the colour of current board

Actual:
Previously highlighted square has colour of old board style

Describe in detail what is desired: (Attach mockup pictures if applicable)
Feedback submission through a simple form. Use jQuery's feedback plugin.


Give a short explanation of why you think the feature is useful:
There is an option to submit bugs, but no option to submit feedback yet. 
Hearing feedback from users can improve the app, and hearing that it's come in 
useful is always nice.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Currently javascripts are within the html file. Place all js scripts in js
a js file (or files).

What is to be enhanced from the latest version of the software?
The Undo function.

How do you suggest it be enhanced?
Currently it just undoes the last move, let it undo as many moves as wanted.

Why do you think this enhancement is needed? (Justify)
Basic functionality that the user expects.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Make some moves
2. Hit 'Reset Game'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: move log reset
Actual: move log contains old moves

What is to be enhanced from the latest version of the software?
noscript support

How do you suggest it be enhanced?
add a warning/notice

Why do you think this enhancement is needed? (Justify)
otherwise no chess can be played :)

What is to be enhanced from the latest version of the software?
Piece moving

How do you suggest it be enhanced?
Constrain players from capturing their own pieces

Why do you think this enhancement is needed? (Justify)
Although this is suggesting adding a constraint and constraints are meant to be 
left out, this enhancement will reduce confusion among users. It will make 
gameplay flow smoother as well as the undo button will be used less.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use a 17" monitor set at 1280x1024 resolution (WinXP)
2. FireFox used as browser

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: move log fits nicely in its container
Actual: it overlaps the footer

Please provide any additional information below.
Tested it at home on two different sized monitors (both 15" but one is 
widescreen) and it worked fine (cannot remember resolution).

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Place a pawn on the enemy's backrank
2. No promotion happens

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected a confirm prompt to choose promotion, nothing happens.

Please provide any additional information below.
This bug occurs because it is difficult to determine the text value of the
cells, because it renders it as HTML instead of showing it as text, thus
conditions to check the piece type fail. Find a way to see cell value as text.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select an empty square on first turn
2. Select an occupied square on second turn

What is the expected output?
Nothing happens. Turn hasn't passed and piece stays.

What do you see instead?
Piece disappears and turn gone.

What is to be enhanced from the latest version of the software?
Castling

How do you suggest it be enhanced?
Check if user is castling, then either automatically move the rook, or use the 
same highlight.

Why do you think this enhancement is needed? (Justify)
Currently during castling, the highlight colour changes, indicating that the 
castle was made on the opponent's turn which is incorrect.

Describe in detail what is desired: (Attach mockup pictures if applicable)
A move log using FAN (figurine notation) on the RHS of the board.


Give a short explanation of why you think the feature is useful:
Provides a clear overview of the game and its move history.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Some moves are logged incorrectly (e.g. captures, promotions, etc)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest version

Why do you think this enhancement is needed? (Justify)
Reach a greater target audience

Use "static" variables.
JavaScript doesn't have static variables, but because functions are treated as 
objects, you can have a property assigned to the function and it will behave 
like a static variable.

What is to be enhanced from the latest version of the software?
The UI (includes layout)
