A simple chess engine written in python3. You can play on the terminal or on a web interface. The chess engine is quite complete. Still missing are: Fifty-move rule and the threefold repetition.

The web interface has two dependecies:

• flask | Micro web framework, used also as webserver
• simplejson | Writing/Reading JSON

Calling web/web.py starts the webserver with the chess engine on port 5000.

Till now three different AIs are implemented (https://github.com/petres/chess/blob/master/player/ki.py):

• PureRandom

  The simplest one. Does randomly draw a move from all possible moves.

• KillBill

  Also a quite simple KI. Captures if possible, if not draw a random move.

• KillBest

  Capture if opposite piece has lower value or isn't guarded. Check if possible (only on non guarded fields). Do randomly draw a move.
