# Chess
Library for analysing and playing chess games programmatically. Direct translation of [chess.js](https://github.com/jhlywa/chess.js) to Go.
Represents a game with the 0x88 chess board representation.
## Why?
I know there's a library called `notnil/chess` for Go too, but I found one function not available in that package, the `.Moves()` function (That is available in chess.js) to count for mobility for one side.
So I directly translated the Chess.js library to Go. Also provides function for validating FENs and prettier move representation.
## holy hell
En passant still doesn't work properly (look at test "TestPositionsPgn") The captured pawn is still not taken off the board. (Wrong square set to nil & I tried for a while but didn't see a change)
## Usage
- Get the package
```sh
go get github.com/Dev-Siri/chess
```
- Start using it ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
```go
package main
import (
"log"
"fmt"
"github.com/Dev-Siri/chess"
)
func main() {
game, err := chess.NewGame()
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf(err)
}
game2, err := chess.NewGameFromFen("Or start from a FEN position")
if err != nil {
log.Fatalf(err)
}
// Make a move
move, _ := game.Move("e4")
// Print position
fmt.Println(move.Pgn())
fmt.Println(move.Fen())
}
```
