Beginner-friendly chess in a console, with batteries included.

Project description

BChess

“I give 98 percent of my mental energy to BChess; others give only 2 percent.” —Bobby Fischer

BChess is a beginner-friendly chess in a console, with batteries included.

How to install

BChess runs under Python 3.6 or newer on Unix-like machines. You can install or upgrade it to the latest commit from PyPI by running:

python3 -m pip install --user bchess

This will install the bchess program into ~/.local/bin folder, and if that folder is in your $PATH, then you will be able to run BChess by just typing bchess. If not, python3 -m bchess should work regardless.

How to play

“To play for a draw, at any rate with white, is to some degree a crime against BChess.” —Mikhail Tal

Start BChess, select your opponent, click on the piece you want to move or enter your move in algebraic notation. Try to win. Or at least have fun.
