##DumbChess Python is a didactical project

#####I dit it to learn Python.

It's a console chess game with AI.

• It uses a negamax with alpha-beta pruning algorythm
• It's very slow so it cannot look more than 3, 4 ply ahead
• That results in some stupid moves
• That is why I called it DumbChess

I now think Python was not the best choice to write such a game, but I learned and that was the point.

To run it :

python chess.py

Then type your first move or "h" for help.

The argument in chess.position.get_best_move sets the thinking depth.

prof.py is to profile performance, it uses the nice snakeviz package.

Any comment is welcome...
