Function Documentation

get_all_piece_types()

std::vector< piece_type > get_all_piece_types ( )

noexcept

Get all the piece types.

get_piece_value()

int get_piece_value

(

const piece_type

type

)

Get the value of the pieces.

A king has a value of zero, although in practice its value is infinite

operator<<()

std::ostream & operator<< ( std::ostream &  os, const piece_type  type  )

noexcept

test_piece_type()

void test_piece_type

(

)

Test this class and its free functions.

to_piece_type()

piece_type to_piece_type

(

const char

c

)

Convert the PGN notation of a piece to its type, e.g.

'N' becomes a knight

to_str()

std::string to_str ( const piece_type  type )

noexcept

Convert a piece_type to a string.
