Alternative 1:
Given a board and a coordinate (aka piece):

• Generate all possible boards that can be reached by applying the defined moves of the piece

Alternative 2:
Given a board:

• For each piece on the board:
• Do algorithm in Alternative 1

Should only allow pawn promotion if destination is on rank extrema

CLI, the main game loop:

• ask for input from the user
• print out info
• print out board state as the game progresses

Issue:
Moves pawn all the way across the board from start position.
This should not happen as it picks a board from getBoards(), which is only one move ahead.

Piece reference/not cloned problem?

Given a board:

• Calculate score (how good is this board?)
• Detect checks, mates, etc
• Validate board (is this state illegal?)

• How much is a piece worth?
• How does a piece move?
• Board coordinates
