### Warning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`gambit` does not have many features at the moment.
|
|
|
|
|
I plan on adding a chess engine, mouse support, timers, networked play, game replays, etc...

### Move
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-12-02 04:19:27 +02:00
|
|
|
Suppose you want to open as white with Pawn `E4`.
|
2021-11-27 03:52:32 +02:00
|
|
|
You will first select the square with the piece you want to move by typing `E2`,
|
|
|
|
|
then type the square of the desired end position `E4`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Just like a real chess board, `gambit` currently supports illegal moves.
|
|
|
|
|
_This will likely change in the future_.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Players
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
`gambit` supports local and networked play. You can play a local game by
|
|
|
|
|
running `gambit` and moving the pieces. You can flip the board by pressing
|
2021-11-27 08:20:17 +02:00
|
|
|
<kbd>ctrl+f</kbd> to allow the second player to go.
|

|
|
|
|
2021-11-27 08:20:17 +02:00
|
|
|
For networked play (not available yet), both players can run `gambit unique-room-id`, this will connect
|
2021-11-27 03:52:32 +02:00
|
|
|
both players to a shared room in which both can take turns making moves.
