Chess

Hello Players,

Chess, a timeless strategy game with roots that stretch back centuries, remains one of the most esteemed board games worldwide. It enhances a variety of essential skills, including tactical thinking, strategic planning, and visual memory.

My aim is to develop an application that caters to players of all skill levels, ensuring that everyone can relish the experience of chess.

Advance through the game, master the challenges, and strive to become a Chess Master!

Here’s a quick overview of how the chess pieces move:

• Pawn: Moves forward one square, or two squares on its initial move; captures diagonally by moving one square forward.
• King: Moves one square in any direction—vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.
• Queen: Can move any distance along a rank, file, or diagonal.
• Rook: Travels any distance vertically or horizontally.
• Knight: Moves two squares in a vertical direction and one square horizontally, or one square vertically and two squares horizontally.
• Bishop: Moves any distance diagonally.

Key chess concepts include:

• Check: A situation where the king is directly threatened by an opponent's piece.
• Checkmate: Occurs when the player whose turn it is has no legal moves to escape from a check.
• Stalemate: Happens when the current player has no legal moves and is not in check (resulting in a draw).

The primary objective of the game is to checkmate your opponent's king.

There are two unique moves in chess:

• Castling: A special move involving the king and an unmoved rook.
• En passant: A pawn captures an opponent's pawn that has just moved two squares forward, as if it had moved only one square.

Features of the application include:

• Ten levels of difficulty
• Challenging chess puzzles
• Game Assistant for guidance
• Option to undo moves
• Hints for potential moves
• Rewards in the form of stars for completing levels without using the undo feature
• Seven unique visual themes
• Two viewing perspectives (Vertical - 2D and Horizontal - 3D)
• Alternate gameplay modes
• Two-player mode for competitive play
• Realistic graphics for an immersive experience
• Save functionality
• Sound effects for an enjoyable atmosphere

If you’re keen on improving your chess skills, I would greatly appreciate your input to enhance the app further. Please share your thoughts and suggestions; I am eager to read them and enhance the quality of the application!
