CORS issues

• For some reason running Angular on localhost resulted in seemingly unavoidable CORS issues when calling the chess API causing requests to fail
• This could have been due to forgetting some request header or using the wrong request object
• Current solution/work around is to create a backend API to make the requests to the chess API

Backend

.NET Core API written as a wrapper to the chess.com API to parse the entire game archives of a chess.com user and return statistics of how the games ended as JSON.

Frontend

• Angular to display JSON returned from API as a table.
• Chart.js to display pie charts.
