Simple Python Chess
-------------------
Author: Liudmil Mitev
E-Mail: [email protected]
-------------------

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
