This project is my very first personal python project* during my first year in computer science !
The goal of this project is to make my own chess board, with all chess rules, and then create my own chess engine with an elo greater than 1700 (on chess.com standings not FIDE one).
For now I'm still working on the chess board, with castle / en-passant rules ect.. left to include.
My Chess Board actually handles : - All legals moves - Undo / Redo - Check and CheckMate - Stalemate - Pins - 3 Moves repetition draw
Install Python latest version and Pygame library
git clone [email protected]:SaltyyCode/SaltyyChess.gitRun the program using python or python3 command
python .\src\main.py
I have been passionate about chess for the last 4 years, playing a lot of games and reading a lot about game theory (heres my chess.com account : https://www.chess.com/member/saltyypro). I had this idea after looking at a great video serie of https://www.youtube.com/@SebastianLague, where he makes his own chess engine and then run a tournament with other people own made bots (heres the video look at it ! They are a huge source of inspiration : https://youtu.be/_vqlIPDR2TU?si=hU3OGR-EAz8wl7zm & https://youtu.be/_vqlIPDR2TU?si=yqGfmje-dYMvyfsF & https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U4ogK0MIzqk)
So basicaly all this project is about me wanting to make my own chess engine, that i'd train and play against in order to make it capable of beating me. It is the most logical way for me to combine my newest passion for code and my chess one :D
state of the game still 09/03/2024 yes, now the squares where the pieces can go are now displayed
re: I'm only studying C in my school so all Python is self-taught
