### Warning
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-12-22 21:32:11 +02:00
|
|
|
`gambit` does not have a large number of features at the
|
|
|
|
|
moment. I plan on adding a chess engine, mouse support,
|
|
|
|
|
timers, networked play, game replays, etc...

### Move
|
|
|
|
|
|
2021-12-22 21:32:11 +02:00
|
|
|
You may use the mouse to move your pieces. You may also
|
|
|
|
|
type out the square the piece you want to move is on
|
|
|
|
|
followed by the square to which you want to move the piece.

|
|
|
Like a real chess board, `gambit` supports illegal moves.

### 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 <kbd>ctrl+f</kbd> to allow
|
|
|
|
|
the second player to go.

|
|
|
|

|
|
|
For networked play (not available yet), both players can
|
|
|
|
|
run `gambit unique-room-id`, this will connect both players
|
|
|
|
|
to a shared room in which both can take turns making moves.
