@dxos/chess-cli v1.0.0-beta.59

chess-cli

This is a CLI extension for playing chess games. Core model is located at Chess Core.

Initial linking

Until this issue is resolved, there are some step required in order to run/develop this extension outside of the incubator repository:

1. Link the chess cli package:

cd packages/chess-cli
yarn link

2. Use the linked cli package in incubator:

cd incubator
yarn link "@dxos/chess-cli"

3. That should solve the issue for now
