Object-Oriented Design: The project follows an object-oriented design approach, utilizing interfaces, dynamic method dispatch, and wrapper classes to enhance readability and maintainability for future updates.
Comprehensive Move Options: Every possible move in chess is implemented in the game. After selecting a chess piece to move, the game displays all legal moves available for that piece, enabling players to make strategic decisions.
If we make a tap on the black queen, we can see where it can play.
Here the white bishop is attacking the black king. If we tap the Black Queen now, we will see the only legal action.
Check and Checkmate Detection: The game calculates whether a move puts the opponent's king in check. It also checks for checkmate, ensuring that the game adheres to the rules of chess and provides a challenging experience.
Draw Detection: Play Chess includes a draw detection mechanism to identify situations where a draw is inevitable due to stalemate or insufficient material.
