ChessServer API -TizzyT

'When sending a move to the server, the move is in the form of 2 bytes.
'The first byte specifies where the target piece currently resides.
'The second byte specified where the target piece will try to move to.
'Example: assuming there is a bishop on A5 and we want to move it to C7 we would send the following 2 bytes: {15,37}.
'Example: if a player resigns they send the following 2 bytes (assuming the king is on A1): {11,99}.
'Example: if a pawn is about to get promoted to a queen by moving forward then it might look like the following: {17,101).
