A game of chess played from the terminal using the standard algebraic notation.
The program assumes basic understanding of standard algebraic notation for manipulating chess pieces. Although it gives some simple instructions at the beginning of the game, if the user is unclear about anything, please refer to the wikipedia page referenced in game.
As examples of how to manipulate pieces, here are four command cases to demonstrate the game's ability.
- white starts: e4, c5, nf3, nc6, bb5, g6, bxc6, dxc6, o-o,...
- white starts: d4, e5, nf3, bb4,...
- white starts: f3, e5, g4, qh4.
- white starts: nf3, h6, d4, a6, nd2,...
For case 1, basic manipulation, capturing, and castling is shown. In case 2, white king is in check, and for case 3, white is checkmated. In case 4, the disambiguation ability is shown. This can also be achieved for castling, but that requires moving out all pieces other than rooks to the two sides of the king.
