the_board[][].

Any way of making sure the move entered is in the bounds?

anonymous · Answer

before allowing any move to take place you need to check it against the_board[][]

anonymous · Answer

if the move is about to put the position of a piece at x>9 || x<1 then don't allow that move

anonymous · Answer

well probably it's counted from 0 to 7 so
if x > 7 || x < 0
  don't allow to move
