Standalone chessboard debugger

RetroChess includes a small standalone Qt application for reproducing and debugging chess-rule problems without starting RetroShare, creating a tunnel, or connecting a second player. It uses the same ChessBoard input widget and ChessPosition rules/state class as the plugin game window.

The debugger supports:

• Click-to-move and drag-and-drop moves.
• Loading and copying complete FEN positions.
• Resetting to the initial position.
• Testing legal moves, castling, en-passant and promotion.
• A timestamped log of accepted and rejected moves.
• A deterministic SHA-256 hash for comparing positions.

Build RetroChessBoardDebug

    cd plugins/RetroChess/debug
    qmake ..
    make 

Start the debugger with:

./release/RetroChessBoardDebug.exe

The debugger is independent of the RetroShare services and does not send moves over the network. To reproduce a reported problem, copy the FEN from a game/debug report, paste it into the FEN position field, select Load FEN, and play the move that caused the issue. The event log records the result and the resulting position hash.

The standalone debugger is an additional development tool. It does not replace or disable invitations, network games, game history, or the normal RetroChess game window.
