Libraries

Tkinter

Tkinter was unfortunately required to be used for this project. It might be changed to QT if for some reason this project is maintained in the future.

Numpy

Numpy is used to handle all the logic. It helps to use an array as the chess board because it's much easier to maintain and much faster and safer than native python list.

Chess

Chess is used to handle the engine.

Future

This project was made as a school project. It won't be maintained. However, I might rewrite it in the future in another lang as a learning purpose.

Otherwise, if you want to contribute feel free to open a pull request.

Thanks
