The chess command can be used to manipulate a chess board should you happen to have one handy.

Entering chess with no arguments, displays the current status of the chess board.

Entering chess reset will reset the chess board to the standard starting configuration. If you would like to see nonstandard configurations added, please contact an implementor and it will get added.

You can remove a piece with the remove option, and place a piece that is currently off the board onto the board with the place option.

The final option will move a chess piece from the specified old position to the new position.

Examples:

chess a1 a3              move the chess piece at A1 to A3.
chess remove a1  remove the piece at a1 from the board.
chess place wr a3        place an offboard white rook at position A3.
