ABSTRACT parent class - use Games_Chess_Standard for a typical chess game

Page Details:

The Games_Chess Package

The logic of handling a chessboard and parsing standard FEN (Forsyth-Edwards Notation) for describing a position as well as SAN (Standard Algebraic Notation) for describing individual moves is handled. This class can be used as a backend driver for playing chess, or for validating and/or creating PGN files using the File_ChessPGN package. Although this package is alpha, it is fully unit-tested. The code works, but the API is fluid, and may change dramatically as it is put into use and better ways are found to use it. When the API stabilizes, the stability will increase.

To learn how to play chess, there are many sites online, try searching for "chess." To play online, I use the Internet Chess Club at http://www.chessclub.com as CelloJi, look me up sometime :). Don't worry, I'm not very good.
