CHESSBOARDS
Look at the chessboard during a game to see where the pieces are. If you do not use UTF-8, uppercase pieces are white, lowercase pieces are black.
To set up the pieces for a new game, type setup.
To move a piece, type move <startsquare>
<endsquare>, for example, move e2 e4 or
move e2-e4.
To place a new piece on the board (for instance when your
pawn gets promoted) place <piece>
<coordinates> - for instance place Q c8.
Also here are uppercase pieces are white and lowercase are black.
To clear away the pieces, type clear.
To take back the previous move, type takeback.
Remember, it's a game - don't kick the chessboard if you lose.
Since chess is a game of passion the colours you choose for shout and yell are used to show the pieces.
