Great! This is bloody excellent! Good job!

PS! Could you perhaps implement the computer as a player - I always loose when I play against myself ;)

you made a good effort, however, you dont have to use AI here, if you want the computer to play, just get a fat book of probability and start making probability trees, you will shurely get the result..

Nice game.

A little tip Gary. Don't assume that WhitePeices and BlackPeices are Integer. BlackPeices are Integers but WhitePeices are Variants. Right-click on WhitePeices and select Quick Info.

Dim your Variables separetely or on one line.

Dim WhitePeices As Integer
Dim BlackPeices As Integer

or

Dim WhitePeices As Integer, BlackPeices As Integer

Please use Option Explicit in all Forms and Modules. 5 globes from me anyway.
