How does it work?

• The game state and the game view are separated.
• The view re-renders as the state changes.
• Projections are used to validate whether a move is legal or not.
• Vectors are used to translate the position of the pieces.

Artificial Intelligence

Uses Stockfish-js, a JavaScript version of Stockfish compiled with WebAssembly. Stockfish-js takes the form of a Web Worker.

Stockfish relies on the universal chess interface (UCI) protocol.
