python-chess | A chess game built from scratch in Python | Game Engine library

I am currently building a chess game using Python-Chess, and I am trying to use the SVG module to generate SVG images of the board. One of the parameters for generating an svg is check (here), which is a "square to be marked indicating a check". However, from the docs, I couldn't find a way to figure out where the player's king is.

What I want to happen is, whenever board.is_check() I want it to generate the svg with check=, using the current location of the current player's king. How do I figure this out? Do I have to iterate through every square and check what piece is on there until I find the correct king? Or is there a function for this that I didn't see? Any help is appreciated, Thanks in advance!

I am using the module python-chess (https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html) to extract analyze 4 million chess games (http://caissabase.co.uk/).

How do I load all moves for a game as strings into a list? The idea is for me to be able to extract information about moves. For example, how many times did a Queen capture an opponent's piece? I would thus search for "Qx" in each move string. I have tried this:

I hope you're having a good day :)

Recently I have been making a chess program.

I'm now at the point of making the AI and I'm using Stockfish for testing purposes.

Since I need the computer to have time to evaluate without pausing the pygame game loop, I'm using the threading library.

I'm also using python-chess as my main library for handling the game state and making moves, as well as accessing Stockfish.

Here is my code for threading:

I want to sequentially print the moves (one string per move at a time) from a game I read (using the python-chess library) from a text file.

So, say I have a pgn file with a game that has the following moves...

1. f3 e5 2. g4 Qh4#

... I would like to iterate through the moves and print them one by one (using a for loop or similar), showing

f3

e5

g4

Qh4

I found the documentation for python-chess here: https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

From the documentation I understand that

1. I would need to create an instance of a visitor that can traverse the game nodes in PGN order using the accept method
2. that the san methon would give me the string for the move that led to the current node

But I find this kind of documentation hard to read and would be greatly helped with examples.

What I managed to do is read a game from a pgn file and print all the moves in one go (as opposed to one by one) using the variation method.

I'm trying to create a conda environment, but it has many dependencies that anaconda seems unable to locate, always sending the same error message below:

I'm trying to export a python-chess game to a pgn file. The documentation recommends -

I was following this tutorial on how to write a chess program in Python.

It uses the python-chess engine. The functions from that engine apparently return SVG data, that could be used to display a chessboard.

• Code from the tutorial:

I am trying to create a neural network to play chess, but first, I need to convert the chess board to a list of integers. I am using the python-chess module for the chess board and game. I currently have a chess board class, but cannot find a method to convert it into a list.

I have tried to use the chess_board.epd() method, but that returns a formatting scheme that is hard to convert.

Here is the code that I need:

I am developing a chess GUI in Python 3.6.3 using PyQt5 5.9.1 (GUI framework) and python-chess 0.21.1 (chess library) on Windows 10. I want to get the value of a piece that was clicked on an SVG chessboard (provided by python-chess) so that I can then move that piece to another square.

After the first left mouse click and getting the piece, I want to get the second left mouse click from the user and get the square that the user clicked on. Then my chess GUI must move the piece from originating square to the target square.

So, here's my complete working code so far. Any hints or actual code additions are very welcome.
