A Svelte chess application which can play with any UCI chess engine (only tested Stockfish). Talks to a basic Python HTTP server to compute moves for the chess engine.

How to Use

1. Download your preferred UCI chess engine and place the executable in engine_server/engines. You'll have to create the directory.

2. Change directories into /engine_server in an Anaconda terminal. Then, download the chess package if you haven't already and run the HTTP server:

   pip install chess
   python myhttp.py engines/executable_name
   

3. In a new terminal, download the necessary node modules and start the Svelte server:

   pnpm i
   pnpm dev
