Well Python is not a good language for writing a chess engine (even if a chess engine exists: http://www.kolumbus.fi/jyrki.alakuijala/pychess.html), but it could be grat for chess interfaces, for drawing boards, and similar things. I foudn out a library for these things (http://www.alcyone.com/software/chess/). Does anyone konw about more chess related modules? Thnx PAolo
