Tap squares to move pieces #2

It would be great if I could move the pieces by tapping the piece and then taping again the destination square, as opposed to drag and drop it. It would be more usable for mobile devices. E.g.

Queen is on a1 and I want to move it to d3
Tap on a1
Tap on d3
Queen moves to d3

Some other mobile app applications work like this E.g. Lichess I personally find it easier to use.

The mobile app allows you to move the pieces in both ways. The web version only allows drag & drop because the hack I had to implement for the "tap" does not work well when there is a mouse pointer. Maybe it should detect if it is browsing the web version from a mobile device and, in that case, reactivate the hack.

I've released the patch; now you can move the pieces tapping in a mobile browser: https://chess-endgame-trainer.web.app
