Why do I rework the project completly?

You can move pieces and get into check or get checkmated and end the game, but I was very unhappy with the UI experience.
I have started the project with the intention to implement Chess using PHP only. But without the use of Javascript I used html submits and exchange the whole board between the client and user. This causes the page to refresh everytime you submit the move. Sometimes the screen flashes from the reload. I was unhappy with the messy foundation of the code which I developed everything further upon.

While reading the book Clean Codefrom Robert C. Martin I noticed a lot of mistakes and in the end decided to rework the whole project for better readability and UI.

The next release will be implemented with Javascript using AJAX Requests to send data to the server in the background without reloading the page and updating the board dynamically. Maybe I'll even switch to Websockets in the future for a smoother experience.
