Voice Controlled Chess Game
This Chess game is a voice controlled 2 Player chess game. It still provides the generic mouse click and select method to move ches pieces
The chess board and game i designed purely using WPF and no game engine of any sort. Speech recognition is implemented using Microsoft Speech Recognition library for WPF. The Chess board is a 2 dimentional array or Matrix label using a combination of Alphabets and numbers (eg. A1 represets the first position of the board, usualy where the Rook will be position at the start of the game for one player)
Each position on the board is an object with the position name, this is used to identify every position on the chess board. This is also what is used to move a piece from location on the board to another according the constraints of that chess piece.
To move a chess piece, you click all speak (into your microphone) the name of the location where the chess piece is placed. Positions on
the board which are valid moves for your piece will be highlighted in green, and potentions "kills" will be highlighted in red. You move to the specific location
on the board by clicking on the valid move postion or speaking move to + name of the board location to move to.

Board To call upon pieces on the board a combination of Alphabets and numbers Valid Aphabets: A, B, C ,D ,E ,F, G, H Valid Numbers: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Format for call: Alphabet + Number eg. A6, B8, H3 calling upon the piece selects it for you to view if it is valid. The implementation works such that a piece is called before you can make any movement commands. Even if you know that a move is valid you cannot skip this step.
After a piece is selected, Movement to valid locations are done by using the phrase move to.
Eg. move to H3
