QUESTION
This is part of a larger project, but I created a new file to solve this one problem. Sorry, I am still new to coding. Currently, I am trying to get stockfish evaluations for positions in Chess, however whenever I try to run the code, I get "AttributeError: module 'chess.engine' has no attribute 'SimpleEngine'" I have looked over the internet and can't find anything, am I being dumb? I tried the code from the documentation as well, and I still get the same error. This is the code from the documentation:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-25 at 19:40I suppose you use an outdated version of the python-chess package. Your current version is 0.23.11 while the latest version is 1.999.
You should try to upgrade your package:
QUESTION
I have made a GUI (using PySimpleGUI) where you can play against Stockfish (I used python-chess module). I make an .exe-file using Pyinstaller --noconsole, but when i run it, it opens Stockfish in a console. When I run it form source, in PyCharm, Stockfish runs silently in the background.
The relevant lines of code are (I guess):
engine = chess.engine.SimpleEngine.popen_uci(engine_filename, shell = False)
and, a bit later,
best_move = engine.play(board, chess.engine.Limit(depth=20)).move
Any advice on how I can make Stockfish run silently in the background also form the .exe-file?

QUESTION
There's a way to slice the mainline like we slice lists on Python? For example:
- mainline[start:stop] # moves start through stop-1
- mainline[start:] # moves start through the rest of the mainline
- mainline[:stop] # moves from the beginning through stop-1
or
- mainline[start:stop:step] # start through not past stop, by step.
The idea is, having the main_sicilian object:

- have noted that your data is on kaggle, so start by sourcing it
- there really is only one issue
shapely.geometry.MultiPoint()constructor does not work with a filtered series. Pass it a numpy array instead and it works. - full code below, have randomly selected a point to serve as

I'm not asking for specific code, but the general structure and how to link the python-chess library with the pygame library with the code that allows the player and AI to move.
Any tips on where to start?

QUESTION
Just downloaded the Python-Chess module and wanted to test it out; whenever I check the board state by using board.is_checkmate, board.is_stalemate, board.is_check, board.is_en_passant and a print statement, it always returns true.
I'm using VSCode on macOS 11.3. Python version is 3.8.2.
ANSWER
Answered 2021-May-20 at 09:00You are checking if a method exists. You need to call the method and check what is returned. Adding brackets will complete this. This will call the method, which checks if the board is in this state.
QUESTION
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!
ANSWER
Answered 2021-Mar-31 at 17:06There is a function for getting the position of the king which is documented here: https://python-chess.readthedocs.io/en/latest/core.html#chess.BaseBoard.king

QUESTION
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:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Feb-04 at 01:02board.san(move) gives you the notation of the move based on the current position (see documentation). However, you have already changed the position before by making the move on the board. Therefore it doesn't recognise the first knight move g1f3 as legal: the knight is already on f3!
I suspect that if you exchange the two lines in the loop it should work. That is, you first need to write down the move, and then make it (somewhat different to what you would do playing actual chess ;))
QUESTION
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:
