Chess AI also in Blueprints?
Yes the entire project is built in Blueprints!
I made chess recently but played with Unreal.js. What decision algorithm did that person use?
I will do the shameless plug and put it here:
Min - Max algorithm with alpha - beta pruning

I am doing a BP chess logic based puzzle (slow progress) so I will be keen to check it out. And FerlinDev’s one as well, cheers.
I am curious to see what you do with camera angle/s, and how you approach square selection and piece movement.

Paragon assets would be perfect for Autochess, Autochess has a pretty big market. Autochess would also work extremely well in VR, I already had a small glimpse with it, but Valve completely made their VR implementation unusable so deadend there.
What I’m trying to say is, make an autochess game for VR using paragon assets and eventually bring it to the Oculus Quest.
There’s a market, the assets and animations exist.

Is it LAN/internet implementation present?
Awesome, can’t wait. I wish there was a fan project to resurrect Paragon. I’d host a 24/7 server on my at-home server.
