Chess: Ruby Final Project

Build a command line Chess game where two players can play against each other.

Description

The final project on the Ruby Programming section of The Odin Project consists of building a chess program that is playable on the command line with two players.The program must be properly constrained so that it prevents players from making invalid moves. The program should also have the ability to save progress at any point in the game. Remember to use your problem solving skills such as pseudocode and divide and conquer to help you through this project.
