This repository contains a fully functional web-based chess game, developed as part of the Web & Database Technology course during the first year of TU Delft's Computer Science & Engineering Bachelor's program. The project was built by a team of two using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
✅ Two-Player Chess – Play against another player in real-time.
✅ Local Multiplayer – Play by opening two instances in your browser.
✅ Classic Chess Rules – Follows standard chess mechanics.
✅ Interactive UI – Simple and clean interface for easy gameplay.
