Timeline

I added pawn movement where it moves a random black pawn forward 1 or 2 can capture and do en passant the en passant took around 1 hour which is a lot longer than it should have, white still does not have the ability to en passant

I added movement for all the pieces and I tried adding a mechanic where after you make a move the black pieces moves a random pawn but its broken at the moment and it sends all the pawns a random amount forward

I added knight and pawn movement the knight can capture pieces except I haven't written code for pawn captures yet.

I restarted doing it in javascript since I was using a python library I didn't fully understand. Right now it is just an 8 by 8 grid of buttons with a picture of a chess piece overlayed. I have an array containing all the pieces so in the future I will use that to keep track of everything.

I made the board and put the symbol of each piece onto it soon I will make it so you can move the pieces
