// loop until the game is over
while (!board.isGameOver()) {

System.out.println(board);

board.makeMove(move);
moves.add(move);

if (currentPlayer.equals("white")) {
currentPlayer = "black";
} else {
currentPlayer = "white";
}
} else {
System.out.println("Invalid move. Try again.");
}
}
// print the final state of the board and the moves made by both players
System.out.println(board);
System.out.println("Moves: " + moves);
