I'm a chess player since a long time, and recently I decided to go back to chess after 4 years of inactivity (I'm an average player with an elo near 2100). Chess is a passion : really. I've got more chess books than programming ones, and in fact I stopped my chess studies because they made me mad enough to stop my real studies !
Today I was in mood for testing : create a little Qt app to visualise very basic written PGN(Portable Game Notation) files. I really need to write a descent parser now, but I'm rather satisfied with the result. All is done in SVG format (self made board with InkScape + pieces from Wikipedia:)). The moves handling has been taken from an outside Python module, but I'll talk about it later on.
Here's the first screencast made with Jing.
Note that it is the real app speed !
