        KingSnake is a Python implementation of chess for two human players. Because
        players are also objects, an AI implementation would also be possible.
        
        A simple text-based chess game can be started with the script `kingsnake`. This
        script calls `KingSnake.py` in xterm with a large font. If you don't want to use
        the xterm terminal, you can call `KingSnake.py` directly.
        
        KingSnake checks each move for legality and only allows legal moves to occur.
        However, because the library is open, you of course also have the possibility
        to move pieces around manually without invoking moves, making it possible to
        set up historical chess games and revel in the past.
        
        This software is released under the GNU General Public License, so feel free to
        use it any way you like. It would be nice to let me know if you do anything
        cool with it though.
        
        The package has reached 2.0 status relatively early. This is because, due to
        popular demand, I had released 1.3 with some added capabilities on move
        rollback. The resultant code was comfortable to use, but the performance was
        bad. As I fixed the performance problem, I cut out some of the outward-facing
        API of Chessboard, so that code dependent on features in 1.3 would have been
        broken. The same functionality is now there, but the method names didn't match
        logically any more and I didn't want to support the deprecate calls in
        probably-nonexistent client code. So... Don't be sad, just update the package
        and enjoy the same functionality in performance mode! ;)
