Detailed Description

Standard chess move representation.

Represents a single move in standard chess using:

• from: Source square (0-63, rank 8 to rank 1, files a-h)
• to: Destination square (0-63)
• promoteTo: Promotion target if applicable, or None

Square Numbering: Squares are numbered 0-63 with the formula:

square = 8 * (8 - rank) + (file - 'a')

where rank is 1-8 and file is 'a'-'h'.

Examples:

• a1 = 56, h1 = 63
• a8 = 0, h8 = 7
• e4 = 36
