Chess AI written in Python

chessai's Issues

Cannot create a valid move

When running on anaconda I got errors for there being no Board attribute of board. I corrected these errors by setting all instances of board.Board to just board however now I cannot seem to create a single valid move.

Check and Checkmate

There are various issues regarding checkmate. For example, checkmate is not declared when it the user is checkmated.

Got this error on the chess AI. No idea how to fix it. Please help!

Traceback (most recent call last):

KingSide Castling

Does Kingside Castling not work? Queenside Castling works for me but not Kingside. Eg. I do E1 G1 and it only moves the king not the rook.

Some thoughts.

Hello. I am working on a python chess project myself and came across your program for ideas on how to make the AI...
Your program looks very elegant and the AI part is good, but as I ran the code, it passed some errors. And you can take take a look at my program(which is messy and unorganised because it lacks classes). I suggest using pygame for gui -which is very easy to impliment.
It also misses Pawn promotion. A filter for valid moves is missing(i guess).
But it is some good work on the whole.

Moves

Please can you add example moves to the README.

Docstrings

Hi

I was going to open a pull request with some docstrings for functions, so they are easier to read and debug. Would that be OK?

Adding a license to the project

I implemented a GUI, some new features, and various fixes to this project for myself some time ago as a personal project. However, I think I can't publish it anywhere since the project has no license, according to GitHub's licensing help page.

My only intention is to publish my version of this amazing repo as an open-source project. Should I fork it and put the changes there? Or am I allowed to create a new repo and give credit to this project in the description?

En Passant

"en passant" moves are not implemented?

Is there a way to flip black and white?

I couldn't find a flag or a way to flip the AI to be white, is there a way to do it?

How to use Castling?

I found that this code can not use Castling. Have you any way?
