Simple chessboard That Does not restrict piece movement.
The entire application Consists of one screen, this screen Consists of
a chessboard, INITIALLY in the starting position of traditional chess,
additional pieces below the board, and two buttons for 'undoing' and 'redoing' moves.

To move a piece off the board, just move it to an area outside the board and it vanishes.
