Colorful chess (New educational learning suggestion)

 The aim is to use different colors to understand the moves, the captures and the dangers playing chess. This mode would help many students or amateurs to begin understanding this complex strategy game. The user can select attack mode (his pieces’ moves and possible captures and dangers) or defense mode (opponent’s moves and possible captures and dangers). Each piece has a distinctive color, the colored squares indicate the possible areas to move and the arrows help to understand the trajectory (helpful to visualize when two equal pieces are close).This mode helps for each move at once.

The subsequently images help to understand this chess visualization mode (could be some technical errors, its just illustrative). 

In image 1 the user (human) is playing on attack mode and selected the tower to see the possible moves (orange colored tiles), the captures (target icon) and the danger areas to move (! Icon). Arrows can differ in shade or shape to distinguish from king rook and queen rook.

In image 2 the user (human) is playing on attack mode and selected the bishop to see the possible moves (blue colored tiles), the captures (target icon) and the danger areas to move (! Icon). Two ”!” (in f7) mean that if the bishop moves to that square it can be captured by two enemy pieces.

In image 3 the user (human) is playing on attack mode and selected the queen to see the possible moves (green colored tiles), the captures (target icon) and the danger areas to move (! Icon). In this case if the queen moves to C6 it will be in danger to be captured by 3 enemy pieces. But in F6 appear an icon to let the user know that moving the queen to that square it will check the opponent’s king.

In image 4 the user (human) is playing on attack mode and selected the pawns to see the possible moves (pink colored tiles), the captures (target icon) and the danger areas to move (! Icon). In this case the pawn in g7 can be promoted for a queen capturing the bishop in f8 or moving to g8. The pawn in d6 can win the game moving to d7 (it’s important to let the player know that) if it stays in d6 it can be captured by pawn in c7 & e7.

In image 5 the user (human) is playing on attack mode and selected the king to see the possible moves (yellow colored tiles).In this case the king in e1 can move freely to d1, e2, f1 (continuous arrow line) but also it can castle with rook in a1, not the case with the rook in h1 following the castle rules. 

In image 6 the user (human) is playing on attack mode and selected the king to see the possible moves (yellow colored tiles).In this case the king in f3 can move freely to f4, e3, e2; can’t move to g3 due to the attack of pawn in h2 nor g2 due to the proximity with the black king.  If the king moves to f2 there will be a draw.

In image 7 the user (human) is playing on defense mode. With this mode activated you can check the strengths and weaknesses of your opponent at any moment of the match. In this case watching the danger of enemies’ knights. Arrows can be activated, they help to understand the movements of the pieces.

In image 7 the user (human) is playing on defense mode. Selecting two different pieces to check more strengths and weaknesses of the opponents, black knight and black rook are checking the withe king (discovered check). Several pieces selected on right panel (in offensive or defensive mode) can be confusing but probably with practice you can visualize them better at the same time.

This colorful educational chess mode has many issues to fix and functions to improve but I think it will be a very pedagogic way to start learning chess.

If you take the idea just give me the credit, no money, no gift. 

Just for the sake of the best strategy game ever! 

If I don’t see the use of this suggestion within one year I’ll suggest to other chess platform. Thanks
