I wanted to make a chess map but I am not sure if it possible to stop players from making illegal or multiple moves in one turn. If anyone knows how I can do this if at all please help.

It IS possible but you would need an incredible amount of trigger to make it work somehow (probably not very convenient) and I'd say its not worth the trouble.
For checking valid moves you could use a mobile grid or
a coordinate system and arithmetics.

How would I even start doing that? LOL I am aware that it would take awhile but I want to learn how to do it.

I kinda made this up right now but:
Step-1
Name your Units As Follows:
King, Queen, Rook, Bishop, Knight, Pawn, Selector (fast flying unit that can attack ground). From there you can name whatever the hell you want
Step-2
Make 64 3x3 locations and tile them so they align 8x8
Step-3
Have an area where the selector will be placed. Say this is "Unit Select".
Turn Start, Give Player 1 unit Selector at loc "Unit select"
Create units king, etc...
Player 1 kills [unit]
Remove all units
Spawn 1 [selected unit] at location "READY"
Spawn 2 [selected unit] at location "Unit Select" One belonging to P8, the other P7
Player kills P8, player selects the right, and so on.
Step-1
Player has selected [example: RooK]
Spawn Selecor at "Chess Board"
Create [Target (air unit)] at vaild..
ok, ill continue this later... im to lazy to work it out right now

LOL, I forgot to attach the map.
None.
It'd be so much easier just to use mobile grids...
None.
That too, but meh, its my way.
To Presige:
Sorry man, but moose posted the map. Im too lazy to do it if someone already has.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically[2026-6-21. : 4:26 am]
Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
