Display possible moves on the board

@RobStallion as your intuition is suggesting, if you want your game/UI to be mobile first (or even just mobile "friendly"), you will need to register the tap or mouseclick event and activate the the highlight. see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Touch_events
For desktop (or anywhere a long press or mousedown can be tracked), display the valid moves on that action and hide them on mouseleave
I feel this is an (incredibly) "nice to have" feature to be considered much later. 🤔
And if you could display the range of moves by color grading (brighter highlights are better moves) it would "win the internet"!

Didn't account for a case where someone changes their mind...

@nelsonic I really like this idea (A LOT). I don't want to forget it so I am going to put it into it's own issue and label as a stretch (or something along those lines). Thanks 👍

I have managed to get this working (as an onClick event for the time being). It is a little ugly right now but it is showing that it is working as expected...

@RobStallion indeed. clicking a different piece should reset the available moves highlight for the previous piece. 😉
Looking good so far. 👍
