Build a functional and visually appealing chess game using modern technologies of your choice (e.g., HTML/CSS/JavaScript).

• Fully playable chess game for two players (local play).

• The user should be able to play from both sides — white or black — with correct perspective and controls.

• Implement all standard chess rules, including:

  • Legal moves
  • Captures
  • Check and checkmate detection

• Move Highlights:

  • Highlight the square a piece moves from and lands on
  • (Optional but nice): show legal moves when a piece is selected

• Timers:

  • Add a basic chess timer (e.g., 5 minutes per side)
  • Show countdown for each player visibly and switch on turn

• Move Notation:

  • Show the moves on the side as they're played using standard chess notation (e4, e5, Qd4, #, etc.)
  • Keep the move log persistent and readable during the game

• Checkmate Handling:

  • When a player is checkmated, display a “Checkmate” or “Game Over” message
  • Provide a restart button to begin a new game

• Make the board and pieces look nice and modern
• Responsive design is a plus (but not required)
• Feel free to use 2D or 3D rendering (e.g., CSS grid, Canvas, or Three.js), whichever makes the game visually satisfying
