Chess Moves accessibility improvements!

In the last couple of weeks, we improved Chess Moves app on Android and iOS to make it even more blind-friendly. Its now even more faster for blind users to make their moves in the App!

This release has two important changes:
* AICFB users can login to the App with their AICFB usernames and play official tournaments!
* An edit/command box has been added under the Chess board (for accessible users only).
This way, one does not need to scan the board to make the move. Instead can simply type the next move or any command, and it will just work! Faster way to make moves, especially when in time trouble!

Commands supported:

  • To make moves, enter: e4 or d4 or nf3 etc (lowercase). For castling both 00 or kg1 works. For long castling 000 or kc1. Likewise kg8/kc8 for black. For piece capture, both nxg5 or ng5 work. For pawn promotion g8q
  • Resign: r
  • Offer draw: d
  • Abort AI game: a
  • Announce Last move: l
  • All white pieces: w
  • All black pieces: b
  • Undo/Takeback move: u
