Detailed Description

This namespace provides functions for generating possible moves for each piece type from a given starting square. These functions are not concerned with captures or blocking pieces, they deal purely with the piece's movement mechanics - i.e., "attacks on an otherwise empty board". The returned move sets do not include the starting square.
