PyChess

A chess Bot made in python with the help of PyGame. This chess bot uses Min-Max search algorithm with alpha beta pruning and iterative deepening to find the best move to play against its opponent.

It also uses a large data set of 1,8 0,000+ games played by GMs so that it can make the optimal opening moves.

The chess board supports moves like pawn-promotion, double pawn push, castling on king and queen side, and en passant from black's side.
