Command line based Chess game written in Ruby.
Each type of chess piece is categorized as either a sliding piece, stepping piece or a pawn (special rules). Subclasses within these categories map to the standard rook, bishop, queen, knight and king. Pawn is given separate set of rules due to special movements (can move two spots on first move, and only forward).
Game successfully verifies if player is in check, if chekc mate has occurred and prevents player from moving into check.
