Summary
This PR adds a small UX improvement to the CLI: after each board display, the program now shows which pieces have been captured by each side.
This mirrors common chess interfaces and makes terminal play more readable without modifying any engine logic.
Example output:
White captured: ♛♟♟♟
Black captured: ♛♜♝♞♟♟
Implementation Details
printCapturedPieces(board)insrc/main.py.board.history, which already stores a tuple(move, pieceTaken)for every capture.printBoardwas modified to call the new display function.Why This Change?
