Overview
--------
Note: This project is still a work in progress and errors are expected to be fixed in a few days.

This project aims to serve as the go-to command line chess application for Windows users. As more and more windows users are becoming power users, a light-weight CLI chess application provides great convenience to access chess puzzles - which hopefully enables chess enthusiasts to practice more often and improve their tacticical abilities.

Since most command-line chess applications are catered to Unicode consoles (and somewhat alienating Windows users), the project has been developed to cater to ASCII consoles - and therefore can be run in what Windows users are familiar with: ``cmd.exe``
