First of all, your project is really impressive. Thank you for sharing it.

Secondly, if I wanted to add a reset entire game feature to the GameViewController how would you recommend going about that?

I've tried a few different things but I think I am quite close now, but can't seem to figure out why it's not working.

I decided to use your persistence feature to reset the game. When the game is initially set I saved the dictionaryRepresentation of the game in a variable, so that when I reset the game I could do game = ChessGame(dictionary: startGameRepresentation), but that did not work. So i decided to reinitialize the game with a human and AI Player (the only scenario I want) and set the current player to the human player.

After that I remove all the pieces from the board and then setup the game again with the code that you've written in your viewDidLoad(). I then use the code you set up in viewDidLayoutSubviews to layout the pieces, but once that happens I cannot move any pieces. I can click on a piece and the square behind it gets highlighted in red, but I cannot then move the piece.

The problem I'm facing now is that guard let player = game.currentPlayer as? Human else { return } always returns in the touchedSquareAtIndex delegate function

My current code is as follows

fileprivate func setupGame() { //Copy of your viewDidLoad code
	// Add initial piece views
	for location in BoardLocation.all {

		guard let piece = game.board.getPiece(at: location) else {
			continue
		}

		addPieceView(at: location.x, y: location.y, piece: piece)
	}

	// Activity Indicator
	activityIndicator.hidesWhenStopped = true

	// Update castle buttons visibility
	updateCastleButtonsVisibility()

}

func reset() {
	let whitePlayer = Human(color: .white)
	let blackPlayer = AIPlayer(color: .black, configuration: AIConfiguration(difficulty: gameDifficulty ?? AIConfiguration.Difficulty.medium))
    game = ChessGame(firstPlayer: whitePlayer, secondPlayer: blackPlayer)
	game.currentPlayer = whitePlayer
	boardView.subviews.forEach { (v) in
		v.removeFromSuperview()
	}
	pieceViews = []
	setupGame()

	layoutPieces()
}

fileprivate func layoutPieces() { //Copy of your layouting code in viewDidLayoutSubviews()
	// Layout pieces
	for pieceView in pieceViews {

		let gridX = pieceView.location.x
		let gridY = 7 - pieceView.location.y

		let width = boardView.bounds.size.width / 8
		let height = boardView.bounds.size.height / 8

		pieceView.frame = CGRect(x: CGFloat(gridX) * width,
								 y: CGFloat(gridY) * height,
								 width: width,
								 height: height)
	}
}

Past that I can't seem to find why I can no longer interact with the game. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Once again, thanks for the great repo.

I get the error above. Could you please help? Thanks!

Hi
Can you please add a timer for the chess board?

Really appreciate your work.

thanks

See this commit here from this guy. He did it for a 3D game that uses SwiftChess as an engine: markypizz@36c9c85

Is this something that is necessary in the base implementation?

Hello @SteveBarnegren ! I would like to ask you about how strong your engine is? Have you ever made a bot on Lichess to estimate the rating?

A common ASCII representation king and knight are K and N, not G and K.

I want to add undo options, guide me on how to do undo?

Can you add Castling without pressing a button?

This issue hosts the images and gifs used in the readme

Hi,
How can we change Game levels?
Like easy, Medium, Hard.
Please tell us.

Thanks lot.

Moving g6 to e7 not working with Piece.PieceType.knight

Please help me

piece :Piece(type: SwiftChess.Piece.PieceType.knight, color: SwiftChess.Color.black, tag: Optional(0), hasMoved: false, canBeTakenByEnPassant: false, location: SwiftChess.BoardLocation(index: 0)), location: BoardLocation(index: 52)
Piece is unable to move to this location

How to use SwifChess with predefine PGN?

Is there a painless way to display a green circle on the board to show legal moves once a piece is touched?

I'd like to add undo function to my app.
What should I save and reload for this function?
Thank you.

Can you build a Korean chess engine?
