Veggerby.Boards.Chess

Chess module for Veggerby.Boards providing piece set, initial FEN-equivalent placement, movement patterns, and rule wiring atop the immutable deterministic core.

Depends on Veggerby.Boards. Use when you want a ready chess ruleset or a foundation for chess variants (house rules, timing layers, analysis tooling).

Install

 dotnet add package Veggerby.Boards.Chess

Scope

Adds:

  • ChessGameBuilder producing a ready game with standard initial layout
  • Movement pattern definitions (directional, fixed, multi-direction) consumed by visitors
  • Rule conditions for basic piece movement & occupancy
  • Path resolution (pattern → concrete TilePath)

Not yet included (roadmap): check/checkmate detection helpers, castling / en passant specialized events, bitboard acceleration, hashing.

Quick Start

var builder = new ChessGameBuilder();
var progress = builder.Compile();

var pawn = progress.Game.GetPiece("white-pawn-2");
var from = progress.Game.GetTile("e2");
var to = progress.Game.GetTile("e4");
var pathVisitor = new ResolveTilePathPatternVisitor(progress.Game.Board, from, to);
var updated = progress.HandleEvent(new MovePieceGameEvent(pawn, pathVisitor.ResultPath));

Key Concepts (Chess Layer)

  • Pattern → Path resolution decouples declarative movement from board topology
  • Immutable history allows branching for analysis (future engine feature: timeline hashing)
  • Piece identity is stable; only state snapshots change

Extending / Variants

Add a variant by:

  1. Subclassing or composing a new game builder that adjusts piece set or starting tiles
  2. Introducing new events (e.g., PromotePieceGameEvent) + rule/mutator
  3. Adding conditions for special rights (castling readiness, en passant availability)

Keep changes pure & deterministic.

Planned Enhancements

  • Decision plan executor (faster rule dispatch)
  • Compiled movement patterns (DFA) for performance
  • Optional bitboards for attack map generation
  • Deterministic state hashing for repetition detection

Versioning

Semantic versioning aligned with repository releases. Breaking movement / rule API changes bump MAJOR.
