Of course, it wasn't the first thing I ever programmed, but it was the first game I ever made public. Low and behold, Checkers! lol It was originally in QB4.5, but with just a little effort, I ported to FreeBASIC. It was lost for years on an old CD. I wouldn't even bother looking at the code... it's a total mess of not knowing what to do and trying things out.

That's really cool

I just played a game, the graphics are nice and clear, only problem I had was that the game got to a stalemate and the computer seemed to go into an infinite loop.

This is just the sort of thing that you could sell a few copies of if you added a 3D board, a few environments and some sounds and sold it through idigicon.

Are there any decent chess games written in FB?

There was one, but I've never played it. Now that you mention it, I might try it.

There's also this: http://drd.orly.mine.nu/download.php?id=38
I never added any gameplay at all though. There was a guy on fb.net that had a pretty cool take on chess AI, so I made this to give it better gfx. I think he gave up on it though.
