This is a project where I develop a chess engine in Python, along with a graphical user interface (GUI) using the Kivy framework.\n\n## Features\n\n- Chess engine with move generation, move validation, and search algorithms.\n- Graphical user interface (GUI) to interact with the chess engine.\n- UCI (Universal Chess Interface) protocol support for communication between the GUI and the chess engine.\n- Rendering of the chessboard, highlighting legal moves, and capturing user input.\n\n## Requirements\n\n- Python 3.x\n- Libraries and frameworks:\n    - python-chess\n    - Stockfish\n    - Pygame\n    - numpy\n    - pytest\n    - kivy\n\n## Installation\n\n1. Clone the repository:\n\n    ```shell\n    git clone https://github.com/Alextibtab/simple-chess-engine.git\n    ```\n\n2. Navigate to the project directory:\n\n    ```shell\n    cd simple-chess-engine\n    ```\n\n3. Create a new virtual environment:\n\n    ```shell\n    python -m venv venv\n    ```\n\n4. Activate the virtual environment:\n\n    - For Linux/Mac:\n\n      ```shell\n      source venv/bin/activate\n      ```\n\n    - For Windows:\n\n      ```shell\n      venv\\Scripts\\activate\n      ```\n\n5. Install the required dependencies:\n\n    ```shell\n    pip install -r requirements.txt\n    ```\n\n6. Run the main application:\n\n    ```shell\n    python main.py\n    ```\n\n7. The GUI will be launched, allowing you to interact with the chess engine through the chessboard representation.\n\n## Contributing\n\nContributions to My Chess Engine are welcome!
