# Raylib C++ Chess Game

This is a complete chess game built using C++ and the Raylib graphics library. This project implements all standard rules of chess, with a user-friendly interface and multiple time control modes.

## Features

- Full implementation of chess rules:

  - Piece movement (including en passant, castling, promotion)

  - Check, checkmate, stalemate

  - Draw conditions (threefold repetition, 50-move rule, insufficient material)

- Game clock with three selectable modes:

  - Bullet (1 minute per player)

  - Rapid (10 minutes per player)

  - Classical (no time limit)

- Visual indicators for selected piece and valid moves

- Mouse-based UI with real-time game rendering using Raylib
