Hi folks,

I've written a Python chess module that does the following.

* Reads / Writes PGN files
* Write FEN files
* Validates moves
* Lists legal moves
* Detects check / mate / stalemate / 50 move rule / threefold repetition

Its still rough around the edges and not fully tested. I'll eventualy 
release a more polished version and possibly put it on Sourceforge. In 
the meantime I would be grateful for any feedback..

I am aware of the chess module by Erik Max Francis. It may have been 
more sensible to work on his version, but I did this mainly for the fun 
of it. I wrote a chess game in C++ a while back 
(http://www.chesscommander.com) and I thought it would be interesting to 
re-implement the chess library part in Python.

Regards,

Will McGugan
