This is a Node.js server that can provide hints for a player during a chess game. Sending a GET request to this server with the current configuration of a chess board and the color whose turn it is will cause the server to respond with a good move for that color.
Formatting the request Assuming that this server is running on a url titled <url>, one can obtain a hint with a request in a format similar to the following:
<url>/get-move?board=RNBQKBNR|PPPPPPPP|--------|--------|--------|--------|pppppppp|rnbqkbnr&color=white
The response from the server will look like this:
H1H2
