Reset the game to starting position
AI agents call chess_reset to permanently remove resources in Chess MCP — typically in cleanup and lifecycle workflows. It does its job in a single call, and there is no undo.
Resetting the game irreversibly discards the current game state and all moves made, returning to the starting position. The in-progress game data cannot be recovered after reset, making this a destructive operation. Severity is medium since it only affects a chess game session, not critical data or systems.
