I did this project as a challenge for myself to see if I could build a working game from scratch without using any references or tutorials. It was a chance for me to practice object oriented programming and GUIs, as well as a way to learn not to run straight to StackOverflow every time i get stuck. This was a really fun project to tackle and I was very happy with the end results. I plan on adding an AI for the user to play against in the future so stay tuned!

Project Overview

Clicking on a chess piece will select it and clicking on a location on the board will move the selected piece to that location if the move is allowed. A player’s turn is over after they have made a valid move. The game is over when a player capture’s the opponent’s King.
