So:
1) Show the board before asking the first move
2) Add coordinates (A-H, 1-8) when showing board.
3) Allows entering move by moving cursor... this would probably need pdcurses.h.

It worked. But that's definitely not very user friendly. Could you

K=king, Q=Queen, R=Root, B=Bishop N=kNight, P=Pawn___
