The purpose of building this game was to help me study Java and its major concepts while exploring programming logic.
It was build by me, Vitor Pereira Resende. More informations about me in my portfolio.
The source code of this project is available in the GitHub repository chess-system-java.
To play the game, you need to have Java 8 or a newer version installed. In the directory where the downloaded file is located, run the following command in the command prompt or Git Bash (Git Bash is recommended for a better experience, as it supports more colors).
java -jar ChessGame.jar

If you are not familiar with the rules of the game, you can learn chess here.
When the game starts, you will see the initial screen with the white pieces starting.
Now, it's time to make your move. The source indicates where your piece is currently located, and the target is where you want to move it.
