Chess
=====

Chess is a PHP chess library used for chess move generation/validation, piece placement/movement, and check/checkmate/stalemate detection - basically everything but the AI.

NOTE: this started as a port of [chess.js](https://github.com/jhlywa/chess.js) for PHP, forked from [ryanhs/chess.php](https://github.com/ryanhs/chess.php)
