Along with #4 we need to do end-game checking including

stalemates ( no legal moves, 3 fold repetition, 50 move rule, impossible mates )

We need to store some player state which could be implemented alongside #5 and #4 so we can do captured pieces and points.

let's get these tests on CI!

We have nothing implemented for castling yet, shouldn't be too bad but it has to happen

Another feature we need to implement at some point, this definitely depends on #1 so that has to get done first.

Currently, the pawn movement checks if the pawn "hasMoved".

It should instead check if the piece is on the starting line (y=1 for white, y=6 for black) to work better with imported FEN strings.

I know some areas aren't good with the capture logic, the pawn doesn't seem to work, didn't check everything else yet

Have to implement checks ( ha ) for king.

We need a move validity checker, imagine you move a piece and that caused the king to be in check. has to check for board state and what not

this probably needs #1

The current FEN parser only places pieces, it doesn't handle the remainder of the FEN string. Once #2 and #5 are done the FEN parser can be completed

We need to implement some sort of board history.
It would be good if we did this in algebraic notation since it's pretty standard and lots of other chess programs can read/import games like that.

From now on we add a third parameter to the move list

[x,y,type]

where type can be
"move"
"castle"
"en passant"
"capture"

which will simplify some things down the road.
