### CHESS
You are required to create a program, which simulates a chessboard and the
movements of various types of pieces on the chessboard.
Chessboard:
The chessboard is an 8 x 8 grid with 64 cells in it.
With 8 rows (A, B, C…. H) and 8 columns (1, 2, 3…. 8), each cell can be uniquely
identified with its cell number. This can be seen illustrated below.
```
A8 B8 C8 D8 E8 F8 G8 H8
A7 B7 C7 D7 E7 F7 G7 H7
A6 B6 C6 D6 E6 F6 G6 H6
A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 H5
A4 B4 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 H4
A3 B3 C3 D3 E3 F3 G3 H3
A2 B2 C2 D2 E2 F2 G2 H2
A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 G1 H1
```
#### Chess pieces and their movements:
The game of chess has 6 unique types of pieces, with their own unique types
of movements. These are
1.) King – Can move only 1 step at a time in all 8 directions (horizontal, vertical
and diagonal)
2.) Queen – Can move across the board in all 8 directions
3.) Bishop – Can move across the board only diagonally
4.) Horse – Can move across the board only in 2.5 steps (2 vertical steps and 1
horizontal step)
5.) Rook – Can move across the board only vertically and horizontally
6.) Pawn – Can move only 1 step at a time, in the forward direction, vertically.
Can also move 1 step forward diagonally, in order to eliminate an opposing
piece.
#### Objective of your program:
Your program should simulate the movement of each unique chess piece on an
empty chessboard.
• Input – The input string to your program will be the Type of chess piece and
its Position (cell number) on the chessboard. E.g. “King D5”
• Output – Once you execute the program, the output will be a string of all
possible cells in which the chess piece can move.
#### Sample inputs and outputs:
```
Input – “King D5”
Output – “D6, E6, E5, E4, D4, C4, C5, C6”
A8 B8 C8 D8 E8 F8 G8 H8
A7 B7 C7 D7 E7 F7 G7 H7
A6 B6 C6 D6 E6 F6 G6 H6
A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 H5
A4 B4 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 H4
A3 B3 C3 D3 E3 F3 G3 H3
A2 B2 C2 D2 E2 F2 G2 H2
A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 G1 H1
Input – “Horse E3”
Output – “F5, G4, G2, F1, D1, C2, C4, D5”
A8 B8 C8 D8 E8 F8 G8 H8
A7 B7 C7 D7 E7 F7 G7 H7
A6 B6 C6 D6 E6 F6 G6 H6
A5 B5 C5 D5 E5 F5 G5 H5
A4 B4 C4 D4 E4 F4 G4 H4
A3 B3 C3 D3 E3 F3 G3 H3
A2 B2 C2 D2 E2 F2 G2 H2
A1 B1 C1 D1 E1 F1 G1 H1
```
The program is written in golang, to run type command
```go run main.go```
TODO: Need to add testcases and make the code more moduler
