Get all possible moves

to do this, we simply call $chess->moves();

it will return all possible moves in SAN format

SAN

example:

<?php
use \Ryanhs\Chess\Chess;

$chess = new Chess();
echo json_encode($chess->moves());

will output:

["a3","a4","b3","b4","c3","c4","d3","d4","e3","e4","f3","f4","g3","g4","h3","h4","Na3","Nc3","Nf3","Nh3"]

Array

but, if we want to display in array mode, we can pass verbose parameter, example: $chess->moves(['verbose' => true]);

example:

<?php
use \Ryanhs\Chess\Chess;

$chess = new Chess();
print_r($chess->moves(['verbose' => true]));

will output something like:

Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [color] => w
            [from] => a2
            [to] => a3
            [flags] => n
            [piece] => p
            [san] => a3
        )

    [1] => Array
        (
            [color] => w
            [from] => a2
            [to] => a4
            [flags] => b
            [piece] => p
            [san] => a4
        )

    .
    .
    .


    [19] => Array
        (
            [color] => w
            [from] => g1
            [to] => h3
            [flags] => n
            [piece] => n
            [san] => Nh3
        )

)

**i use ̀ json_encode() and print_r() for make reading the output easier :-)
