SYNOPSIS

use Chess::Game;

$game = Chess::Game->new();
$clone = $game->clone();
$move = $game->make_move("e2", "e4");
$move_c = $clone->make_move("e2", "e4");
$true = ($move->get_piece() ne $move_c->get_piece());
$move = $game->delete_move();
...
while (!defined($result = $game->result())) {
# get a move
$move = $game->make_move($sq1, $sq2);
if (!defined($move)) {
print $game->get_message();
}

The Chess module provides a framework for writing chess programs with Perl. This class forms part of that framework, providing move validation for all moves recorded using the Chess::Game class. The Game contains a Chess::Board, 32 Chess::Pieces and a Chess::Game::MoveList that contains a series of Chess::Game::MoveListEntrys that record the exact state of the game as it progresses. Moves can be taken back one-at-a-time to allow for simple movelist manipulation.
