How to make chess.js play white and make a first move? #474

Open Huub62 opened 2 months ago

For a kids-chessgame I use chess.js and chessboard.js. Playing with white is easy, but how can i let chess.js make a first move and let the kids play with black?

Thanks in advance for any help.

It has built in method which returns all possible moves of current player and you can let computer start playing.

const moves = chess.moves({ verbose: true }) const randomMove = moves[Math.floor(Math.random() * moves.length)] chess.play(randomMove)
