py-chessboardjs
===============

Chess GUI using pywebview and chessboard.js.
The main files are :file:`start.py`, :file:`js/my-script.js` and :file:`index.html`.

Chess-Ant is currently too slow to function as a chess engine. To make
matters worse, there is a glitch in the call to chess-ant. It is
possible to experiment by loading pgn and having it solve the problem.
