5 Before every move, players see only what their pieces can reach.
6 That is to say: empty squares where your pieces can go,
7 but also occupied squares where captures can be made.
8 For example on the illustration next, after 1.e4 d5 white sees a black
9 pawn on d5, the squares e5, f5, h5, b5, a6 and all four first ranks.
10 The f5 square is visible (and empty) because of the
11 special case of pawn capture.

29 challenging that a human. But it may be a fun start :)
