Python chess from sratch

• used jupyter notebook for quick development (don't laugh at newbie)
• learn to build a chess game from scratch and an engine complicated enough to beat me
• use chess.JS / chessboard.JS for the front end and upload to heroku for example
  • show moves made
  • allow takeback
  • allow new game

Under development

• game feature outstanding:
  • castling
  • en passant
  • checkmate checked?
  • stalement
  • promotion
• engine
  • minimax prune

Future plan

• a bot on lichess, etc.
• improve on the engine
