Project Title
React Chess Game with AI (React)

Project Summary
The React Chess Game with AI is a web-based application that allows users to play chess against a computer opponent. Built using React, it features a visually appealing chessboard, piece movement, and AI-powered gameplay. This project offers an engaging way for users to practice chess, learn new strategies, and enjoy a classic board game with modern web technology.

Core Features

• Interactive Chessboard: Drag-and-drop functionality or click-based movement of chess pieces.
• AI Opponent: Users can play against a computer-controlled player using a chess engine.
• Legal Move Validation: Ensures only valid moves can be made, including special rules like castling, en passant, and pawn promotion.
• Game Status Tracking: Detects check, checkmate, stalemate, and draws.
• Undo and Restart: Options to undo moves or restart the game.
• Move History: Displays a list of previous moves in algebraic notation.
• Responsive Design: Fully playable on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices.

Technologies Used

• React: For building UI components and managing game state.
• Chess.js: For game rules, move validation, and board logic.
• Stockfish (via WebAssembly or API): For implementing the AI opponent.
• react-chessboard or custom SVG rendering: To visually display the chessboard and pieces.
• CSS/Styled Components: For custom styling and responsive layout.

Learning Outcomes

• Integrating third-party libraries (e.g., chess.js, Stockfish) into a React project
• Managing complex game state with React hooks or context
• Implementing AI logic and turn-based interactions
• Creating a polished and intuitive user interface
• Handling edge cases and special chess rules effectively

Possible Enhancements

• Add difficulty levels for AI (easy to hard)
• Enable multiplayer mode via WebSockets
• Allow users to analyze games or export PGN
• Add sound effects, dark mode, or piece themes
• Include user profiles and rating system
