-h3 Basics
-
-p.
- Before every move, players see only what their pieces can reach.
- That is to say: empty squares where your pieces can go,
- but also occupied squares where captures can be made.
- For example on the illustration next, after 1.e4 d5 white sees a black
- pawn on d5, the squares e5, f5, h5, b5, a6 and all four first ranks.
- The f5 square is visible (and empty) because of the
- special case of pawn capture.

- Choose your move carefully, based on what you can infer from the
- opponent's past moves. Counting material, in particular, is crucial.
- Be careful to block the attacking lines toward your king too.
- Good luck!

- Note: the bot is not cheating - it really uses only the information
- described earlier. Moreover, it is very basic and clearly less
- challenging that a human. But it may be a fun start :)

-h3 End of the game
