Display Mode

Chess-tui supports two display modes for rendering the chess pieces:

Default Mode

display_mode = "DEFAULT"

Uses Unicode chess pieces for a richer visual experience.

Default mode with Unicode chess pieces

display_mode = "ASCII"

Uses ASCII characters for better compatibility with terminals that don't support Unicode.

ASCII mode for better compatibility

You can toggle between display modes in-game using the menu option or by editing the configuration file.

tip

Use ASCII mode if you experience display issues with the default Unicode pieces in your terminal.
