chess-game

This is an Angular Project, for my attempt to create a chess-game. This project provides a full-featured chess interface, allowing players to make moves, handle pawn promotions, and view the game's state.

Features

• Interactive Chess Board: Click to select and move pieces.
• Pawn Promotion: Automatic handling of pawn promotions with a selection dialog.
• Game State Tracking: Keeps track of the game's move history, last move, and check state.
• Visual Indicators: Highlights selected pieces, valid moves, and the last move made.

Installation

To run this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/angular-chess-board.git
   cd angular-chess-board

2. Install dependencies:

   npm install

3. Run the development server:

   ng serve

4. Open your browser to http://localhost:4200.

Usage

Selecting and Moving Pieces

• Click on a piece to select it.
• Click on a valid destination square to move the piece.
• If a pawn reaches the last rank, a promotion dialog will appear to select the new piece.

Promotion

When a pawn reaches the last rank (row 0 for black, row 7 for white), a dialog will appear allowing you to choose a piece (Knight, Bishop, Rook, or Queen) for promotion.
