**Wasabi Chess** is a web-based chess engine, written in AssemblyScript that runs directly in the Browser.

> [**Play here!**](https://mhonert.github.io/chess)

The React web application embeds the engine using [Web Workers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Workers_API)

to compute the AI moves in the background without blocking the main thread for the UI.

### Features

- Chess engine implemented in [AssemblyScript](https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript)

- Computer opponent with 6 difficulty levels

- Opening Database for varied gameplay

- Move history to undo player moves

- Drag'n'Drop support to move chess pieces

- Touch support for mobile devices
