MChess - Real-time Multiplayer Chess Platform

Overview

An online multiplayer chess platform where players can create games and compete in real time. The application manages game sessions, validates moves, synchronizes board state across connected clients, and provides a responsive multiplayer experience.

Challenge

Building a real-time multiplayer application requires reliable state synchronization, low-latency communication, and consistent rule enforcement across multiple clients. The system needed to ensure that both players always shared an identical game state while preventing illegal moves and race conditions.

Solution

Implemented a WebSocket-powered architecture that synchronizes game state between connected players in real time. The backend validates moves and manages game sessions while the frontend provides a responsive interface that instantly reflects board updates and game events.
