Python-Chess

This is a chess project I started to learn Python and introduce myself to git

Current Features

• Fully working chess game written from scratch
• CPU opponent built using alpha-beta pruning and the minimax algorithm
• Multithreading
• Special chess rules including en passant, castling, and pawn upgrade
• Launch menu to choose your game mode
• Local player versus player (on the same device)
• Random cpu opponent

Installation

1. Install Python 3
2. Use pip to install tkinter, PIL, anytree, and threading
3. Run main.py to start the program

TODO

• Write neural network game mode
• Add checkmate indication - checkmate rules are in place
• Write local network multiplayer
• More thoroughly document items
• Clean up parts - many parts are implemented inefficiently
• Fix unknown bugs in the game
• Implement smooth drag and drop graphics
• Make more compatible with alternate resolutions
• Add rule where a player can get more queens from pawn upgrade
• Allow the CPU opponent to perform pawn upgrades
