Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class Board< T >

Base template for any board used in board games.

Template Parameters

T	Type of the elements stored on the board (e.g., char, int, string).

Provides core data (rows, columns, matrix) and virtual methods to be implemented by specific games like Tic-Tac-Toe, Connect4, etc.
