OK, here it is. 3 meg, 7 hours and one stupid error. But I'm pretty happy with this. And the complete game is fools mate. White wins in 8 moves or so. Actually beat a mate of mine with this once. It was classic! But he was a little pissed off. The pawn that is taken was supposed to fly gently off the table, but it kinda goes into orbit. The AVI shows it falling off the table, but the MPEG conversion chopped off the last few frames. Now for the blindingly stupid error. I forgot to link the sun to the view. SO the camera angle is moving, but the position of the sun is fixed, so the lighting is wrong and towards the end shows through the sphere (you can see star shapes on the table). Might redo it once my PC stops smoking. Enjoy.
