Introduction
Chess is a popular board game played between Two Players It is played on a square Chess-
Board with 64 squares arranged in an eight-by-eight grid. Each Player Have 16 pieces
to play a game
Online chess is chess that is played over the internet, allowing players to play against
each other in real time. This is done through the use of Internet chess servers, which
often include a system to pair up individual players
In 1974 Deep Blue was First software based Chess Engine developed by IBM Computers.
What our chess game can do?
IMPROVES PROBLEM SOLVING TECHNIQUES
IMPROVE LOGIC AND REASONING SKILLS
INCREASE PATIENCE AND PERSISTENCE
IMPROVES DECISION-MAKING SKILLS
“Online Chess Game ” is a project, which is of great use at the present. The main goal of
this project is to give access of Chess game to each and every person. “Online Chess
Game ” specially focuses on Helping Player How to Play Chess Game.
For the completion of this project we use Python Chess Library & Pygame For GUI purpose
. We have used Windows as the platform for the completion of this project. Different
class and package of Python Chess Library & Pygame are used to achieve the task.
Pygame is a cross-platform set of Python modules designed for writing video games. It
includes computer graphics and sound libraries designed to be used with the Python
programming language.
Goals:
explore the idea that a computer could "think"
explore symbolic computation
write a program to play Chess
Project Background
The project ‘DESIGNING OF CHESS GAME USING COMPUTER GRAPHICS’
implements a classic version of Chess with a Graphical User Interface (GUI). The Chess
6
game follows the basic rules of chess, and all the chess pieces only move according to
valid moves for that piece. Our implementation of Chess is for two players (use of
Artificial Intelligence). It is played on an 8x8 checked board, with a dark square in each
player's lower left corner. We successfully created a GUI using text-based version,
inheritance and templates, as specified. Despite several unusual bugs in the GUI, our
Chess program is a great, user friendly game for two players.
For the completion of “Online Chess-Game” a high level programming language
PYTHON is used and windows platform is used. But the result of this project is
platform independent. We have used the latest version of the Python programming
language for the latest features. Similarly capture device is required for the completion
of the project.
The main propose of this project is to have a Simple and Easy GUI To Play Chess game
Between TWO PLAYERS .This project can be further enhanced in future to the mobile
application and even be expanded to contain many more facilities so that it can be very
useful.
If a person wants to Play Alone Then He/She Can Play Chess Using Single Player
Option Provide in The Game. If he Wants to play With the His / Her Friends He Can
Play Using Multi-player Mode With Timer ON Or OFF. If Both The Players Are Far-
way From Each other And wants to play a game can be done using Online Mode Which
uses SOCKET PROGRAMINIG TECHNIQUE For The Establishment Of the
Connection Between Two Players . If Player wants to Leave ongoing game and want
CONTINUE the Game later it can also be Done using SAVE MY-GAME and continue
the Game Later
Methodology
7
We started by planning the hierarchy of our chess game. This organized our plan for
coding and setting up the class hierarchies. Next we began coding of the Chess game.
Initially we worked together on developing the header files so that we knew what
functions and logic we should use.
After the GUI window appears upon execution, the first player (white chess pieces)
clicks on the piece that (s)he would like to move and then clicks on a valid position for
this piece (including capturing another piece, which then disappears from the board).
Invalid moves are not allowed, and the message box notifies the player of the problem.
A player is also not allowed to move another player's pieces. The message box tells the
player when (s)he is in check, and the player must move the King to get out of check.
The majority of the time, however, our Chess game worked well.
For designing the system for chess following aspects need to be kept in mind:
Practicality, the system must be stable and can be operated by people with average.
Efficiency, this involves accuracy, timeliness and comprehensiveness to the
system output.
Cost, it is desirable to aim for a system with a minimum cost subject to the
condition that it must satisfy all the requirements.
Flexibility, the system should be modifiable depending on the changing needs of
the user. Such modifications should not entail extensive reconstructing or
recreation of software. It should also be portable to different computer systems.
Security, this is very important aspect of the design and should cover areas of
hardware reliability. System design involves first logical design and then
physical construction of the system.
Goals:
explore the idea that a computer could "think"
explore symbolic computation
write a program to play Chess
Literature Review
Computational intelligence techniques were combined with games for the first time in
1959, when Samuel applied a simple reinforcement learning algorithm to the board
8
game Checkers. After the early success of Samuel, the research in the field remained
silent for a long time. But as part of artificial intelligence research, a few researchers
have worked on applying classical AI techniques, basically especially custom-made
search algorithms, to board games such as Chess and Checkers. This direction of
research ultimately led to the much publicized victory of the IBM Deep Blue Chess
computer over world Chess champion Gary Kasparov in 1997.
An abstract representation of a game is a set of rules which allow a player to play the
game lawfully, but which is more compacted than the general representation of the
game. The concept of abstract representation is basic to all work on games in AI. It is a
prerequisite for game analysis. Thus game analysis is significantly dependent on the
existence of an abstract representation of the game
Last but not the least a literature review is one described above and the one which is an
evaluative report of information found in the literature related to the selected area of
study, ours is the CHESS.
This project implements a classic version of Chess using Python and a Graphical User
Interface. The Chess game follows the basic rules of chess, and all the chess pieces
only move according to valid moves for that piece. Our implementation of Chess is
for two players. It is played on an 8x8 checkered board, with a dark square in each
player's lower left corner.
FUNCTION AND STRUCTURE DESIGN
OF Online CHESS GAME .
System design is the process of defining the components, modules, interfaces, and data
for a system to satisfy specified requirements. System development is the process of
9
creating or altering systems, along with the processes, practices, models, and
methodologies used to develop them.
This system adopts the modularized program design, and system function is
correspondingly divided into function modules, the main modules include
UI function module design: The Single Player screen, Multi Player Screen,
Online Playing Screen, Load Game Screen , Hyper Links For Useful
Document Links For learning Chess game.

Conclusion
Conclusion:-
In this project “DESIGNING OF CHESS GAME USING COMPUTER GRAPHICS”
we presented the classic and standard version of Chess implemented as a GUI. We
successfully created a game using inheritance, templates, Artificial Intelligence and a
GUI (Graphical User Interface).
The project had two aims, all of them which were achieved. The aims of the project
were important as they identified what the project was trying to achieve. Their aims
were:
16
First aim is to allow two users or players to play the game interactively from
remote locations.
The second aim is that the java program for the chess game should be working
properly and allow the users to play the game .
The testing methods used in the project were appropriate. The system test ensured that
all features of the chess game were functional before the beta test. There was no other
suitable tests found that would test the game as thoroughly as the system test.
The benefits are –
A GUI user interface which help us to work with great ease.
Chess program is a great, user-friendly game for two players by the use of
Artificial Intelligence
We have successfully completed our project. While doing our project we faced different
difficulties. . After doing this project we have learnt visual programming viz. Python
and also gained the idea PyGame And Chess Framework. The more important thing is
that we have learnt to work in-group. As well we have learnt the importance of the
project management while doing any sort of project.
