Chess-Server (+ Bevy Client)

My personal 'everyone needs to write a chess program in his life' attempt.

A chess program as a client-server architecture. The server is responsible for all the chess logic while clients can send commands to create, join and play chess games.

Could evolve in either a small-sized online chess or a chess analysis software if I will ever care enough.

Done:

• Client-Server Architecture:

  • Basic Management for multiple games and clients
  • Protocol for communicating online-chess-related messages (hosting games, making moves, ...)

• All mandatory rules for a chessgame:

  • All Piece logic
  • Checkmate and Stalemate detection
  • 50-Moves-Rule
  • Threefold-Repetition

• Basic GUI Client:

  • Create, Join and List Games
  • Move Pieces, Promote
  • Response to opponent moves, game over, etc.

• SAN converter

• Nicknames

• Move history

Short/Mid-Term TODO:

• Better Client with better GUI

• Insufficient Material Draw

• Offer Draw

• Resigning

• Time control management

• Material overview

Long-Term TODO:

• Persistent Accounts

• Puzzles

• Analysis

• UCI Bridge (Stockfish integration)
