Implemented a web-based chess program that supports PvP and player vs AI. Used AWS Lambda function wrapper for the stockfish chess engine to find the best move for a given chess position in FEN notation and the requested move depth

chess

A web-based chess program written in React and React-dnd that supports any combination of player vs AI. Includes support for drag and drop for human players and animation effects for computer players.

See it running at https://muhammadhamza.dev/projects/chess.

Prereqs:

• Node.js and gulp on a linux server
• npm install -g gulp to install gulp if you already have Node.js
• A web server (like Apache).

Installation steps:

• git clone <clone url>
• cd chess/
• npm install - this will install required packages as specified in package.json
• Modify movesUrl in app.properties as needed
• gulp build - this will build all required files to the build/ directory

Test it:

• Open build/index.html in a browser.
• For testing purposes, if you don't have a web server, running python -m SimpleHTTPServer in the build/ directory and navigating to http://localhost:8000 should do the trick.
• You should see several buttons asking what kind of chess game to play.
• To troubleshoot, look for javascript errors in the browser console.
