Pythonchess 0.7 by Steve Osborne

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello,
I am using Pythonchess 0.7 http://www.pygame.org/project-Python+Chess-1099-.html with Windows 7 SP1 32-bit and Python 2.7.10 for Windows https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/

Pythonchess 0.7 is a sub-directory of the Python 2.7.10 folder
(like Shatranj and Sunfish) - after a double-click with the mouse on "ChessGameParams" an application is opened:
player 1: human or AI
player 2: human or AI

But after pressing "start the game" the complete program is closed - nothing happens. Any ideas?

Best wishes,
Norbert

I think you need to run the `PythonChessMain.py` file. It requires that you have the package pygame installed.
