Chess

Learn Standard Chess rules.

Make a Game Session

• Navigate Git Bash terminal into your Git-Started folder.

• Write commands:

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ mkdir "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/YourName vs OpponentsName"
  $ cp -i "Games/Multiplayer/Chess.md" "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/YourName vs OpponentsName/Game Number.md"
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Game start"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

Play the Game

• Navigate through the Playground folder and find your Game Number.md file.

• Open the file by right-clicking and choosing to open with a text editor. I highly recommend Notepad++ for this purpose.

• First players FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  # Makes a move and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White Move"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Second players FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Makes a move and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Black Move"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Other turns:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Makes a move and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White/Black Move"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

FULL EXAMPLE:

• Joseph (white player) and Mathew (black player) are playing against each other their first game.

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ mkdir "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/Joseph vs Mathew"
  $ cp -i "Games/Multiplayer/Chess.md" "Playground/Multiplayer/Chess/Joseph vs Mathew/Game 1.md"
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Game start"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Josephs FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Moves his pawn from e2 to e4 and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White e4"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Mathews FIRST turn:

  $ git checkout -b Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Moves his pawn from d3 to d5 and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Black d5"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Josephs SECOND turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Eats a pawn on d5, copies him on the black graveyard and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "White xd5"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• Mathews SECOND turn:

  $ git checkout Game-Session
  $ git pull origin Game-Session
  # Opens the "Game 1.md" with a text editor.
  # Heroically moves his pawn from e3 to e4 to avenge his fellow and saves the file
  $ git add .
  $ git commit -a -m "Black e5"
  $ git push -u origin Game-Session

• And so on.

When commiting a message make sure to describe your move. If you don't feel like using the official move notation, just write something like "White K f3-f4" (white moved King from f3 to f4)
