If Deep Blue could talk
=======================

Built with the [chess python package][python-chess].

Installation
------------
```bash
$ pip install deep-blue-talks
```

Run
---
```bash
$ deep-blue-talks
```

#### Output
If you enter
```bash

```

then you should see
```bash

[Nota Bene][nb]: Depending on your terminal, the colors of the pieces may be inverted. To correct this, toggle the boolean value of the `inverted` setting inside `/usr/local/bin/deep-blue-talks` with `vim` (or any lesser text editor of your choosing). This should be fixed for the 0.3 release.
