Randomize Timer()
piece = Rnd(8) + 100
move = Rnd(2)

Well Jess, the "move" variable should be 1+rnd(1), so that 0 is not returned.

sspikedudley, your code snippet is a little bit confusing. Is the object number for the "cursor object" number 1? Is the black pawn object number 101 or 105? I am willing to help out, but need more information...
