Chris Fernandes Chess Project (cpf44@cornell.edu)

Web Version: https://github.com/0chrisf0/webChess
Starting FEN: rnbqkbnr/pppppppp/8/8/8/8/PPPPPPPP/RNBQKBNR w KQkq - 0 1

General Information: -Goal: Implement a chess game with a GUI where players can play each other locally, only making moves as enforced by the rules of chess. I focussed more on solid object-oriented design rather than the efficiency and technical details of my implementations.

Features:

• All rules of piece movement are enforced, including but not limited to:
  --> Pieces that are under absolute pins cannot move
  --> Castling only when allowed
  --> En Passant only when allowed
  --> User can input a valid FEN and generate that boardstate

Invariants: -There must always be one of each king on the board to start a game. -Assumes there are no checks when the game starts.

TODOs: -Draws other than stalemates E.g. three-fold repetition or insufficient material.
-Some kind of notification that a checkmate/stalemate has been reached.
-Ability to export PGNs and FENs
-General GUI improvements, e.g. listing pieces that have been captured.
-Implement an AI opponent
