CHESS MODULE INSTRUCTIONS

STARTING A GAME

At the beginning of the game, you must choose a side by typing w to play as White or b to play as Black (then press ENTER).

MOVES

The format used to input moves via keyboard is as follows:
(P)from(x)to(=C), where:

• P corresponds to the piece being moved (uppercase). It is omitted if a pawn is moving.
• from is the square from which the piece moves (lowercase).
• x is written only if there is a capture. If not, it is omitted.
• to is the square to which the piece moves (lowercase).
• =C is added in case of promotion, where C is the piece promoted to (uppercase).
• For castling, use 0-0 for kingside castling and 0-0-0 for queenside castling.

EXAMPLES

• Pawn from e2 to e4: e2e4
• Knight from b1 to c3: Nb1c3
• Rook from h8 to h2: Rh8h2
• Bishop from h2 to g3 with capture: Bh2xg3
• Queen from h5 to h1: Qh5h1
• Kingside castling: 0-0
• Queenside castling: 0-0-0
• Pawn from h7 to h8 promoted to queen: h7h8=Q

ADDITIONAL COMMANDS

exit:

Ends the game immediately in its current state.

mod:

⚠️ Warning: If you're playing as White and use mod, you'll also need to use mod again when it's Black's turn. After that, the engine will continue playing automatically following your moves.
