Chess

This project is still a WIP.

It is a playground for me to play with some fun libraries and better develop my Rust / large repository management skills.

Current status

The chess engine is implemented and is exposed via the server to communicate with the web app.

NOTE: Project is currently on hold because I'm waiting on a next release of prisma-client-rust and rspc to create game rooms, auth, etc, etc.
