Documentation

Migrate to 3.x and 4.x

Versions 3.0.0 and 4.0.0 introduce some breaking changes with regard to the previous versions. To determine whether your codebase needs to be adapted or not when upgrading Kokopu, please look at:

Features

  • Chess move generation.
  • Check, checkmate and stalemate detection.
  • Move legality check.
  • Algrebraic notation parsing and generation.
  • FEN notation parsing and generation.
  • UCI move parsing and generation.
  • PGN file parsing and generation (including advanced PGN features such as commentaries, sub-variations, NAGs, non-standard starting position...).
  • Support several chess variants:
    • Chess960, also known as Fischer Random Chess.
    • Antichess, also known as losing chess, giveaway chess, suicide chess...
    • Horde chess (following Lichess/Chess.com rules).

Kokopu is a headless library, meaning it does not provide any user interface. If you are interested in UI features (e.g. to be able to render a chessboard component within a web page), you may take a look at Kokopu-React, which is a React-based library built on top of Kokopu to provide these kind of features.

Example

const { Position } = require('kokopu');

// Create a new position, play some moves...
const position = new Position();
position.play('e4');
position.play('e5');
position.play('Nf3');

// Display an ASCII-art representation of the position.
console.log(position.ascii());

// List the available moves.
const moves = position.moves();
console.log(moves.map(move => position.notation(move)));

// [ 'a6', 'a5', 'b6', 'b5', 'c6', 'c5', 'd6','d5', 'f6', 'f5', 'g6',
