Assist Chess

Massive thanks to @C-Through for the chess starter project

Assist Chess is intended for beginner to intermediate players to help them make the best move. Too often have I lost a lost a chess piece or made a dumb move because I couldn't see that it was being attacked. With this, players have to worry less about checking every piece and more on the strategy. The objective of Assist Chess is to provide enough useful information to inform the player, but not too much as to choose a move for you or be overwhelming.

Options:

• Show defended pieces indicates with a shield icon pieces that are being defended by another piece of the same color
• Show pinned pieces indicates pieces that are trapped behind another piece that is being attached, hence "pinned"
• Show pieces in danger outlines in red pieces that could be taken by your opponent
• Show captures outlines in green pieces that you could capture from your opponent
• Show all moves shades the cell of squares you could move to with any piece
• Show current move shades the cells that the piece you are currently dragging can move to
