How to play

To move a piece, you can either use your mouse or keyboard. For select a piece with your mouse, just left-click the board square where it is. For select a piece with your keyboard, first, you need to provide a coordinate. A coordinate is generated when you press a letter (A-H, case insensitive) followed by a number (1-8).

Once a piece is selected, the board square where it is will glow blue. The board square where it can be moved will glow green or red, green means a free board square and red means a board square with a enemy (See image bellow). Moving into a enemy means capture it.
