Chess

Chess built from scratch in Python, OOP style. Has a web backend & frontend served locally.

Structure

Chess/
├── game.py      # game loop, move validation, turn management
├── board.py     # board, files, diagonals, path logic
├── pieces.py    # piece types and properties
├── squares.py   # square model + notation
├── tests.py     # tests
└── server/      # local web server + HTML/CSS/JS frontend

Usage

git clone https://github.com/0Reab/Chess.git
cd Chess
activate venv
cd server
python -m app

Then open http://localhost:<port> in your browser.

Implemented

• Move validation for all pieces
• Check, double check, pins
• Castling (with checks-through-path validation)
• Pawn promotion (queen only)
• Web UI rendered from White's perspective

TODO

• En passant
• Stalemate detection
• Draw conditions (50-move, threefold repetition, etc.)
• Promotion choice (currently always queens)
• Game over screen
• Matchmaking via code
• Security auditing :)

Thank you
