Welcome to my Command Line Chess implementation in Batch! This project demonstrates a functional chess game that runs directly in the Windows command prompt.
This repository contains a chess game implementation using Batch scripting. The game features a command-line interface with piece movement validation, turn system, and basic chess rules.
Currently, pieces are inadvertently removed when displaying possible moves on the board.
- Issue occurs during move preview
- Affects pieces located in potential movement squares
- Related to board refresh mechanism
Future implementation will include:
- Secondary array to store piece positions
- Position restoration after clearing movement indicators
- Enhanced board state management
