Java-Chess

A simple Java chess program, currently do not looking for a GUI just terminal project. Practice OOP design.

What this project is aiming for acheive

This project is my first project plan, intension is to get a job. The aim can be broken into following part

1. Understanding and apply OOP design pattern. Chess is not a complicate game, but certainly can contain lot's of room for designing those classes.
2. Programming by contract. I will aim for a well documentated design of everything I need to implement, build a solid ground for future GUI extension.
3. Robust Programming. I would like to make this project maintainable in the future. One approach would be using test driven development, and lots of refactoring in the process.
4. Documentation. I would want to learn to document my project, first thing I did is to make format like my school assignment, in a certain way, I do felt it's well documented.
