Chess in the Terminal

Overview

This was a class project where I developed a command-line chess game with board rendering, move parsing, legal move generation, illegal move detection, check/checkmate detection, and game state persistence. You can open mutliple terminal windows and connect to the same chess game to play against each other or join as an observer.

Highlights

• Object-oriented design for pieces and rules
• Move validation and checkmate detection
• Client-server handshake whenever moves are made, sends notification to opponent when it’s their turn
