Hi Amir, thank you for these absolutely wonderful videos. I love the way
you present it, especially when you fix mistakes. You have an excellent clear
voice. Just a pity that your chess project does not work, not on my computer. I think
it might have to do with the different platforms that you and I work on. I’m new
to Java. I’ll give it another try, later, maybe next year. Please don’t think
that I’m computer naive, I first worked on an IBM mainframe 54 years ago in 1963
when I was 19 years old, with punch cards, it had no screen nor keyboard. Thank
you, once again, I think you’re a genius.

"no enclosing instance of type is in scope" i have this problem when im trying to extend a castleMove class to KingSideCastleMove becouse castlemove is not static

If we didn't use Guava, how can we replace
this.legalMoves = ImmutableList.copyof(Iterables.concat(LegalMoves, calculateKingCastles(legalMoves, opponentMoves)))
from class Player, line 30? (3:03 is the minute you wrote it). Thank you so much!

There is a bug in the method disambiguationFile() in the class Move. It doesn't check for 2 pieces occupying the same column. Here is a possible solution.
public String disambiguationFile()
{
for(final Move move :
{
== destinationCoordinate &&
!this.equals(move) &&

{
if(BoardUtils.INSTANCE.getPositionAtCoordinate(movedPiece.getPiecePosition()).substring(0, 1)
.equals(BoardUtils.INSTANCE.getPositionAtCoordinate(destinationCoordinate).substring(0, 1)))
{
column.
BoardUtils.INSTANCE.getPositionAtCoordinate(movedPiece.getPiecePosition()).substring(1, 2);
}
else
{
rank.
BoardUtils.INSTANCE.getPositionAtCoordinate(movedPiece.getPiecePosition()).substring(0, 1);
}
}
}
return "";
}

This might be a stupid question but why are we only checking for possible attacks on squares we travel over for the king side castling moves? Shouldn't we also do this for the queen side castling moves too?

sir please can you upload one video after the player to check moves of pieces in command promote please
