Pull request overview
This pull request implements insufficient material draw detection and perft (performance test) validation for the chess engine. It completes Slices 13 and 14 of the chess engine foundation specification.
Key Changes:
- Implements insufficient material draw detection that automatically ends games when neither side can force checkmate (K vs K, K+B vs K, K+N vs K, K+B vs K+B with same-color bishops)
- Adds perft testing functionality to validate move generation correctness against known benchmark positions
- Implements FEN (Forsyth-Edwards Notation) parsing to create board positions from standard chess notation
