ChessHub - CSCI2020U Final Project Group 1

Our project is a chess application built using Java Web Applications and HTML/CSS/JS. It allows players to play chess with another player or a computer, as well as solving chess puzzles. The server utilizes WebSockets for the online component along with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for client-side interaction across all modes. The primary goal of this project is to implement everything we learnt in this course into a full stack web application.
