Research direction
Start at TreeNode.simulate() and follow the call into ChessBoard.movePiece(), where the NullPointerException is reported. Reproduce the failing move and inspect why a null piece reaches that entry point. Done means the reproduction no longer raises the exception and the relevant move behavior remains correct.
