;; Routines for manipulating chess positions
;;

;;; Commentary:

;; A chess `position' is a vector that starts with sixty-four
;; characters, representing the 8x8 grid of a chess position.  Each
;; position may contain p, r, n, b, k, q or <space>, or any of the
;; previous letters in uppercase.  Uppercase signifies white, and
;; lowercase means black.
;;
;; Creating a new position can be done with:
;;
;;   (chess-pos-create)
;;   (chess-pos-copy POSITION)
;;
;; To setup the chess board at an aritrary position, manipulate the
;; position that has been returned to you, or use a position input
;; module.

;; Once you have a chess position, there are several things you can do
;; with it.  First of all, a coordinate system of octal indices is
;; used, where ?\044 signifies rank 4 file 4 (i.e., "e4").  Rank is
;; numbered 0 to 7, top to bottom, and file is 0 to 7, left to right.
;; For those who wish to use ASCII coordinates, such as "e4", there
;; are two conversion functions:
;;
;;    (chess-coord-to-index STRING)
;;    (chess-index-to-coord INDEX)

;; With an octal index value, you can look up what's on a particular
;; square, or set that square's value:
;;
;;    (chess-pos-piece POSITION INDEX)
;;    (chess-pos-set-piece POSITION INDEX PIECE)
;;
;; PIECE must be one of the letters mentioned above (in upper or
;; lowercase), or a space to represent a blank square.
;;
;; To test whether a piece is at a particular position, use:
;;
;;    (chess-pos-piece-p POSITION INDEX PIECE)
;;
;; PIECE may also be t for any white piece, nil for any black piece,
;; or the symbol `any', which returns t if the square is not empty.

;; You can hunt for all occurances of a certain piece using:
;;
;;    (chess-pos-search POSITION PIECE)
;;
;; You might also try the `search' event, which employs the
;; intelligence of listening rules modules to search out your piece
;; according to legal piece movements.

;; Once you have a pair of indices, you can move a piece around:
;;
;;    (chess-pos-move POSITION FROM-INDEX TO-INDEX)
;;
;; NOTE This is not the safe way for users to move pieces around!
;; This function moves pieces DIRECTLY, without checking for legality,
;; or informing listening modules of the move.  To make an "official"
;; move, use:
;;
;;    (chess-move FROM-INDEX TO-INDEX)
;;
;; This will publish the move to all listening modules, which can then
;; handle the move event as they wish.
