The unbearable pixel graphics on such a large display make it unplayable. It's a nice one, though. I think I should shrink the size of my terminal window. Or can you make everything smaller? Need Keyboard support.

So the board shrinks down as you reduce the size of window. Currently there is an issue in the chess pieces scaling down in size if we reduce the size of terminal. Showing images properly is quite tricky in terminal, hope to get to it sometime later this week.

> Need Keyboard support.

That's also something on my mind. Do you have any specific scenario in mind. I was thinking of hotkeys or chess notation as input.

Arrow keys to navigate while using SPACEBAR/ENTER to pick/drop pieces should be enough.
