Methods

attacked(Color color, int square) bool
build_move(List<Piece?> board, dynamic from, dynamic to, dynamic flags, [PieceType? promotion]) Move
clear() → void
Reset all of the instance variables
copy() Chess
Deep copy of the current Chess instance
generate_fen() String
Returns a FEN String representing the current position
generate_moves([Map? options]) List<Move>
get(String square) Piece?
Returns the piece at the square in question or null if there is none
get_disambiguator(Move move) String
getHistory([Map? options]) List
king_attacked(Color color) bool
load(String fen) bool
Load a position from a FEN String
load_pgn(String? pgn, [Map? options]) bool
Load the moves of a game stored in Portable Game Notation. options is an optional parameter that contains a 'newline_char' which is a string representation of a RegExp (and should not be pre-escaped) and defaults to '\r?\n'). Returns true if the PGN was parsed successfully, otherwise false.
make_move(Move move) → void
make_pretty(Move ugly_move) Map<String, dynamic>
pretty = external move object
move(dynamic move) bool
The move function can be called with in the following parameters: .move('Nxb7') <- where 'move' is a case-sensitive SAN string .move({ from: 'h7', <- where the 'move' is a move object (additional to :'h8', fields are ignored) promotion: 'q', }) or it can be called with a Move object It returns true if the move was made, or false if it could not be.
move_to_san(Move move) String
Convert a move from 0x88 coordinates to Standard Algebraic Notation(SAN)
moves([Map? options]) List
Returns a list of legals moves from the current position. The function takes an optional parameter which controls the single-square move generation and verbosity.
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
perft(int? depth) int
pgn([Map? options]) String
Return the PGN representation of the game thus far
push(Move move) → void
put(Piece piece, String square) bool
Put piece on square
remove(String square) Piece?
Removes a piece from a square and returns it, or null if none is present
reset() → void
Go back to the chess starting position
san_moves() List<String?>
return the san string representation of each move in history. Each string corresponds to one move.
set_header(dynamic args) Map
Updates header with the List of args and returns it
square_color(dynamic square) String?
Returns the color of the square ('light' or 'dark'), or null if square is invalid
toString() String
A string representation of this object.
inherited
trim(String str) String
undo() Map<String, dynamic>?
Takeback the last half-move, returning a move Map if successful, otherwise null.
undo_move() Move?
Undoes a move and returns it, or null if move history is empty
update_setup(String fen) → void
called when the initial board setup is changed with put() or remove(). modifies the SetUp and FEN properties of the header object. if the FEN is equal to the default position, the SetUp and FEN are deleted the setup is only updated if history.length is zero, ie moves haven't been made.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) bool
The equality operator.
