# Chess against engine

Play chess locally.

![Example usage](https://github.com/loloof64/ChessAgainstEngine/blob/master/screenshot.png?raw=true)

## Usage

* first we must configure an UCI engine : Stockfish is a good and free candidate

* in the options page, you can also choose the engine thinking time when game is not stopwatched

* for the game, you can start with the standard position, with a custom position, or with a position from a game in a PGN file

* once in the game page, you have nearly full control over it :

  * you can toggle board orientation with up-down arrows icon from the app bar

  * you can choose at any time that the computer play one/both side(s) by clicking on the matching checkboxes

  * you can activate time : each time you activate the time, clock is restarted with the values you gave for the time

  * you can choose that black has a different time than white

  * you can choose to stop current game

  * you can show the engine score evaluation (with a checkbox)

* when game is finished, you also have the option of saving the game in a pgn file, and you can also navigate into the game history

## Caveats

* If your PGN has a tag `Setup` instead of `SetUp`, then it won't be parsed correctly

* When failing to import a PGN, we can't know on which game the error has been reported

## Developers

1. Install Intellij Idea (Community version is enough)

2. Import the project from Git

3. Run gradle command (from Gradle view) Tasks > createDistributable
