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 Space to allow the second player to go. For networked play, 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.
