# Chess Game using WebSocket
This project is a web-based chess game built using WebSocket, Express, and EJS.
It allows players to connect in real-time, get paired into rooms, and play against each other.
The game handles multiple players and ensures smooth gameplay through efficient room management.
**Demo Link:** https://chess-com-vhzl.onrender.com
## Features
### Real-time multiplayer:
Players can join a room and play against another player in real-time using WebSocket.
### Room Management:
The game pairs players in rooms for a 1v1 match.
### Game Persistence:
The game state is maintained even if a player refreshes the page.
### Move Validation:
The app uses chess.js for validating moves.
### Spectator Mode (Optional):
Support for spectators to watch ongoing games.
## Tech Stack
**Backend**: Express.js for server management and WebSocket for real-time communication.
**Frontend**: EJS templates for rendering dynamic content.
**Chess Logic**: Chess.js for game logic, including move validation and piece interaction.
**WebSocket**: Real-time communication between players.
