# ♔♕♖♗♘♙ crabchess

`crabchess` is a 100% Rust Chess API with no `unsafe` code that enables you to build
chess-related software tools. `crabchess` can import and export PGNs (Portable Game
Notation) and FENs (Forsyth-Edwards Notation), determine the status of a game of chess,
identify illegal move attempts, determine a game's ECO opening, track players' time
remaining, and much more. `crabchess` works not only with standard chess but also random
board configurations like Fischer random chess (Chess960).

## Documentation

The full documentation is available at [docs.rs](https://docs.rs/crabchess/latest/crabchess/).

## Example

Most of the core functionality is exposed through the `ChessPosition` struct, which
represents a game of chess. The `ChessPosition` struct can be mutated and consulted as
a game progresses.

```rust
use crabchess::prelude::*;

// Create board with default (Staunton) starting position.
let mut position = ChessPosition::new();

// Apply moves in SAN format.
position
    .apply_sans("e4 e6 Nf3 g6 d4 Bg7 e5 Ne7 g4".split(' '))
    .unwrap();

// Or, use the `Move` enum.
position
    .apply_move(Move::Castle {
        side: Side::Kingside,
        color: Color::Black,
        timer_update: None,
    })
    .unwrap();

assert_eq!(
    position.fen(),
    "rnbq1rk1/ppppnpbp/4p1p1/4P3/3P2P1/5N2/PPP2P1P/RNBQKB1R w KQ - 1 6"
);

position
    .apply_move(Move::Standard {
        initial_square: sq!(F3),
        piece_type: Type::Knight,
        piece_color: Color::White,
        final_square: sq!(G5),
        is_capture: false,
        timer_update: None,
    })
    .unwrap();
```
