  :white,
)

Parameters:

  • board (PGN::Board) —

    the board for the position

  • player (Symbol) —

    the player who moves next

  • castling (Array<String>) (defaults to: CASTLING) —

    the castling moves that are still available

  • en_passant (String, nil) (defaults to: nil) —

    the en passant square if applicable
