This line assumes the move list always starts with 1.:

Unfortunately when no move was played yet, this is not the case (only the result is repeated, typically * for a game that was just started, but can be anything technically). Can this be fixed?

I am using this library to store chess games played in Minecraft and this requires storing metadata of the game (players, date, etc.) while no move was made yet.

Hello, do you think it is a good idea to subclass pawnDisplacementRule and Pawn and override direction inside pawnDisplaymentRule so you have 2 new classes that you can use when black go first ? Because i believe currently the pawn only moves in direction for white.

Is there interest in supporting FEN? I think it would be a convenient way to store state (with the tradeoff of loosing the history). I like how compact FEN can be.

I was thinking in writing my own but I couldn't find a way to flip castling rights in jchess API. Any thoughts or comments on this?

I think it would be useful to be able to query the captured pieces in the game and I believe there is no support for this at the moment.

Jchess could hold captured pieces in memory. I think that a single list of pieces could hold the data for both players.
Alternatively, jchess could avoid storing that extra state and just offer a way to subscribe to captured events. The client would then be responsible of storing the captured piece when an event fires.

I would do it outside of jchess, but it seems that it would be reimplementing parts of jchess to do it.

It is not a blocker for me yet but I thought it would be a good idea to document this here.
