They are nicely broken down by opening. On the right column of his blog, he has two databases you can download, one with of his own games, and 77 games of masters, that he's commentated. Here's a small, older cache of annotated games, for those who are still using the discontinued Chessmaster software:.

The downside is that you still need to do the actual check for an "emtpy square" anyway so it can take more code to achieve the same functionality. So to recap on your question: Yes there's an alternative but it's not always better.
Look at it case by case. In certain situations it can greatly simplify the code, in others you don't gain anything from the extra Null Object class. There are a lot of raw integer literals in this code; integers are domain agnostic, and don't have any semantic context. For example, the digit 8 appears 30 times in your source code. Do all of those 8s mean the same thing? What about the 25 times 7 appears? What's really going on here is that you've got some chess ideas the black pawn rank, the king rook file , and you are using integers as in memory representations of those ideas -- but you've written your code in the language of the in memory representation, rather than in the language of your domain.
And since there are a lot of different ideas that accidentally share the same in memory representation, it's hard to tell them apart. Chess boards don't have rows and cols ; they have ranks and files. When the same idea appears multiple times in your code, you should think about whether the code will be easier to maintain if that idea should have a single representation.
For example: the black pieces on a chess board are placed opposite their white counterparts ; but that idea is only implied by the fact that the magic numbers in Board:setBlackPieces happen to match those in Board:setWhitePieces. Maintaining code without making errors is statistically unlikely; having automated checks significantly reduces the changes of an undetected error. The boundary where your code touches the outside is hard to test. Try to make that boundary as skinny as possible.
This is really the same idea as the previous; checking the correctness of the UI is hard, so you want to make the adapter between your app and the GUI framework as thin as you possibly can. Same idea, different spelling: you want the UI adapters to be dumb ; they do what they are told, but don't do logic for themselves.
Your UI should know a lot about java. An interesting way to challenge yourself here is to introduce a second UI; for example, the command line. When you find yourself duplicating logic in the second adapter, you have a big hint that you are doing that work in the wrong place.
Look carefully: that's just a function that computes a URL for a row, column pair. So make the function explicit, and then put it where it belongs the functional core.
If you are sure that something can never happen, then throw an AssertionError that contains the exception that will "never" happen. Something to recognize about chess: the current state of the board can be calculated from the initial board layout and the list of moves in the game.
But the board by itself isn't enough. See, for instance, the Langstaff position. Sign up to join this community.

It is extremely forceful and contains a ton of sacs. Its also a perfect mate!! It makes a tremendous teaching vehicle, I have taught it to many of my students. Probably hundreds of times. It certainly drives home the lessons of development and mobilization of your entire army. Or visit the Georgia State Chess Association web site. Keep watching these pages for more annotated games! Just so you know, I am still furiously annotating games.
I hope to have hundreds of annotated games in this site!! Of course, if you have Blitzin's The Internet Chess Club's software, you can "examine" games in all the very extensive collection of libraries.
Type "help libraries" and "help examine" to get complete instructions. They have many libraries and games that you can examine. Want to see more annotated games? Then check out the following:.
