Implement checkmate, resignation and draw #1

Open dev-xero opened 2 weeks ago

dev-xero commented 2 weeks ago

Implement a system for terminating active games. It must signal both players about the game state.

Acceptance criteria

Must notify both players when checkmate, resignation, or draw occurs.
Must update the game model with the appropriate reason.
The game state should be persisted in the main database.
Update player ratings based on their elo difference.

Notes

Would probably need to store a shouldUpdate flag in local storage to fetch the new ratings after a game.

Add support for timeout too, through socket messages.
