A personal project: fully implementing the game of chess from the ground-up in Python (also with some basic "bots").
If you want to play a ready GUI implementation, you can use GraphicGame(p1, p2) which accepts two Players in the following way:
import chess
import chessbots
game = chess.GraphicGame(chessbots.Human(), chessbots.Human())
game.main()
In chessbots module, there are the following types of Players:
Human()- a person has to make the moves using computer mouseRandomBot()- selects a random legal move and plays itMinMaxBot(max_depth)- selects the best among legal move according to MiniMax algorithm for givenmax_depth
(side-note): the MinMaxBot is very slow, so setting the max_depth to a high value can lead to long processing times for the bot
To make a move in the GUI, you should click the piece you want to move and drag it to desired position (without releasing mouse)
(side-note): the animation for the moving pieces is not yet implemented
If you wish to extend and create a different implementation of the Game, you can create a class YourGame(Game): inheriting from the original class and use the implemented methods to make moves and extract info about the game state
