Simple Python Chess

Author: Liudmil Mitev E-Mail: liudmil.mitev@gmail.com

A simple python chess implementation, a learning project. Turns out that programming a chess game is no trivial task, so I've tried to make it as modular and as easy to learn from as possible.

Contains:

• dict-based board representation
• move validation
• Console-based Unicode GUI
• TkInter GUI

Requirements:

• Python 2.5+
• TkInter
• PIL

To install the dependancies on debian/ubuntu run: sudo apt-get install python-tk python-imaging python-imaging-tk

TODO:

• En passant
• Pawn promotion
• Fifty-move rule
• Tests
• Scalable GUI window
