Overview

About

SuperChess is a GUI application for playing chess.

It is written in Python 3.10 programming language, uses PySide6 GUI library, python-chess library, and Stockfish chess engine.

It provides an interactive SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) chess board and a table that displays chess move notation.

Interactivity with chess pieces on the chess board is bound to the rules of standard chess.
