How godofjan/chessengine-with-sfml works

This is a C++/SFML graphical chess game. A player drags a piece; the Game controller requests legal moves, commits a legal move to the Engine, and the UI renders the board and move feedback. Keyboard and reset events also dispatch to the Engine. The README documents special rules, game-end detection, history, and FEN conversion. The sampled sources show the main UI/engine wiring, but not all engine internals; uncertain internal call links are omitted.
