Chapter 4. Existing Syatem

In the context of a chess game project using Pygame, "current system" refers to the state
of the chess game implementation prior to the development of the current project.
Because this is a specific implementation and not an upgrade to existing software, the
term "existing system" may not be directly applicable. Instead, the literature review
provides an overview of relevant current work, frameworks, or project-related
techniques.

4.1 Existing System (Literature Review):


• Traditional chess software: Historically, traditional chess
software has been characterized by a simple text-based or basic graphical
interface. These implementations, while functional, often lack the
sophistication of advanced graphics and interactive features, prompting a
reevaluation of user experience and engagement.
• Pygame Framework: The Pygame Framework has emerged as a
key component in contemporary game development. As a widely adopted
tool for creating 2D games in Python, PyGame is respected for its versatility
in handling graphics, user input, and sound. Its popularity in the game
development community reflects its role as a transformative force in
interactive application creation.
• Chess Engines: Various chess engines, including pioneers like
Stockfish and Komodo, have gained fame for their prowess in playing chess.
These engines explore the algorithmic complexities of chess, providing
valuable insights into the recognition of moves and the management of game
states.
• Graphical Chess Interface: Some chess interfaces have leapt
beyond functionality with an emphasis on aesthetics and user experience.
Using technologies such as WebGL or sophisticated graphical libraries,
these interfaces aim to create visually immersive and captivating chess
gaming experiences

4.2 Abstract Representation of a Game:


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.
Also the books such as Primer Labs (2013) CODE HERO is a game that teaches
how to make games | Primer Labs, is of great significance for developing the
game such as chess.
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
8
literature related to the selected area of study, ours is the CHESS.

CHAPTER 5

10
Chapter 5. Characteristics

In this scenario, we present the basic definition of chess moves. Before starting the
game, we need to know what it is and what it is known for.

5.1 Standard Limitation:


Chess Board: A board for playing Chess. There should be 64 white and white
boxes.

Chess: The game is played by 2 people on a backgammon board with 16 pieces each.
Player or User: The user or player will be the person who plays chess.
king: The main part of the game is to check the artifacts of this game object. Can
move 1 space in any direction.

Knight: This piece can move 1 space vertically and 2 spaces horizontally or 2
spaces vertically. This work looks like a horse. This work can also jump through other
parts.

Queen: This piece can move in any direction in any space unless there is another
piece.

Rook: one of two pieces of the same color that can move the number of
squares horizontally or vertically, unless another piece interferes.
Bishop: one of two pieces of the same color that can move any number of squares
diagonally, unless another piece interferes. One piece always remains in the White Box
and the other always in the Black Box. The bishop does not have restrictions on each
move, but only on diagonal moves. The bishop, like all pieces except the knight, cannot
jump over other pieces. The bishop occupies a square occupied by one of the enemy
units.
Bishops can be distinguished by the wing that starts with, which is the bishop of the
king and the bishop of the queen. As a result of the diagonal movement, each bishop
always remains in the white or black square, so it is also commonly called a light or
dark colored bishop.

Check: Perform an action that immediately attacks the opponent's King. In chess,
check occurs when a player's king is in danger of being captured by his opponent's next
turn. A king so threatened said in control. If possible, the player must move out of check
by adding a piece between the threatening piece and the king, capturing the threatening
piece, or moving the king to a square that is no longer controlled. If the player fails to
check out, the game ends with a partner and the player who loses. Players cannot make
moves that control their king.

11
Scout: keep the opponent's king under control and avoid capture. He then brings the
game to a winning conclusion.

Castling: move the king two squares diagonally and bring the joker to the area
where the king passed. Casting is a movement in chess involving the player's king and
the player's original piece. A rook is the only move by the player that two pieces move
in the same move, and the only move where one piece of the knight's move can be
called "push" for another.
Casting consists of moving the king two squares to the hole of the player's first level,
then moving the king to the next square. Casting is only controlled if the king has never
moved, the castle involved has never moved, the square between the king and the castle
is not occupied, the king is not in control, and the king has not passed or finished the
square. Casting is one of the rules of chess and is technically a king move.

Stalemate: A situation where one player's king is not in control, but the player
cannot move. Then the results are inconsistent.

5.2 Product Perspective:


A product perspective emphasizes the overall role and purpose of a chess engine in
the context of a chess-playing application. It describes how the chess engine
interacts with users, end-user expectations, and the potential for integration with
various front-end applications to enhance the overall chess-playing experience.
5.2.1 System Interface: The GameState class manages the chess game state,
using an 8x8 2D list for the chessboard. It includes methods for handling moves,
captures, checks, and other game logic. The Move class facilitates user
interaction by representing individual moves.
5.2.2 User Interface: While the code itself does not provide a user interface, it
serves as the backend logic for the game of chess. User interaction is usually
through a graphical or command-line interface built around these classes.
5.2.3 User Characteristics: End-users are expected to be familiar with the
rules and gameplay of chess, including understanding chess notation and
terminology.
5.2.4 Constraints: The implementation is in Python, and dependencies include
the 2D catalog for the chessboard and the pygame library for the graphical
interface.
5.2.5 Operations: GameState methods handle moves, captures, checks, en
passant and castling. The Move class represents moves, including special
moves such as pawn promotion and castling. Methods for converting between
chess notation and internal representation are provided. This code handles
various chess scenarios, such as passant capture, castling, and pawn promotion.

CHAPTER 6

14
Chapter 6. Proposed Methodology:

The development of the chess application will adhere to a modular approach,


emphasizing a clear separation between chess logic and graphical representation.
Drawing inspiration from the provided code structure and incorporating the Pygame
library for graphical rendering, the proposed methodology unfolds in several key
aspects.

6.1 Modular Design: The architecture of the chess application will be


structured around a modular design paradigm, facilitating clear separation
and organization of different functional components. This approach ensures
that the codebase remains manageable, scalable, and easier to maintain over
time. Each module will be dedicated to specific tasks, such as managing
chess logic, handling user interface elements, implementing AI algorithms,
and controlling different game modes.
6.2 Chess Engine Enhancement: The core chess engine will undergo
enhancements aimed at refining its capabilities and improving overall
gameplay. Focus areas include enhancing move validation mechanisms,
optimizing algorithms responsible for evaluating board states and selecting
optimal moves, and implementing advanced strategies to enhance the AI
opponent's decision-making process. These enhancements will contribute to
a more challenging and dynamic gaming experience for players of all skill
levels.
6.3 Pygame Integration: Building upon the Pygame library for graphical
rendering, the integration will be extended to enhance the visual
representation of the chessboard and pieces. Additionally, Pygame's
capabilities for mouse event handling will be leveraged to enable seamless
interaction with the game interface. Furthermore, timer functionality will be
introduced to add a time-based dimension to gameplay, allowing for timed
matches and increasing strategic depth.
6.4 User Interaction Refinement: The user interface will undergo
refinements to improve usability and provide a more intuitive experience for
players. This includes implementing better feedback mechanisms to inform
users of game state changes, introducing tooltips or visual aids to assist in
understanding game mechanics, and refining user interaction elements to
enhance overall engagement.
6.5 Chess AI Integration: The integration of AI opponents will
introduce varying difficulty levels, allowing players to challenge themselves
against increasingly sophisticated opponents. This will involve
implementing algorithms for evaluating game states, predicting opponent
moves, and making intelligent move selections. The AI opponent will
provide a balanced and enjoyable gaming experience, offering players a
chance to improve their skills and test their strategic prowess.

15
6.6 Event-Driven Programming: Embracing an event-driven
programming model within the Pygame loop will ensure responsiveness to
user actions and facilitate seamless execution of game-related events. Event
handlers will be utilized to manage user inputs, trigger graphical updates,
and synchronize gameplay elements, ensuring a smooth and immersive
gaming experience.
6.7 Comprehensive Game State Management: A robust game
state management system will be developed to accurately track the state of
the game at any given time. This includes managing game modes, tracking
timers for timed matches, enforcing turn-based gameplay rules, and
implementing error handling mechanisms to provide informative feedback to
users in case of invalid moves or unexpected scenarios.
6.8 Special Moves Handling: Special moves handling will be
expanded to cover a wide range of scenarios, ensuring compliance with the
rules of chess. This includes implementing logic for special moves such as
castling, en passant captures, and pawn promotions, with careful
consideration for their impact on game dynamics and strategic decision-
making.
6.9 Testing Strategy Augmentation: A comprehensive testing
strategy will be devised and implemented to verify the correctness and
reliability of newly introduced functionalities. This will involve conducting
unit tests to validate individual components, integration testing to ensure
seamless interaction between modules, and error handling tests to assess the
robustness of the application under various scenarios.

6.10 Mini-Max Algorithm: Minimax is an algorithm used to determine the


score in a zero-sum game after a certain number of moves, with best play
according to an evaluation function. Here we have used the minimax
approach.
The algorithm can be explained like this: In a one-ply search, where only
move sequences with length one are examined, the side to move (max player)
can simply look at the evaluation after playing all possible moves. The move
with the best evaluation is chosen. But for a two-ply search, when the
opponent also moves, things become more complicated. The opponent (min
player) also chooses the move that gets the best score. Therefore, the score of
each move is now the score of the worst that the opponent can do.
We are utilizing a tree to generate the possible chessboard with depth first
search and minimax to find the best move based on the following heuristics:
• material (total piece count for each player)
• number of possible legal moves with emphasis on center squares
• check/checkmate status
• pawn structure

16
6.11 Alpha-beta Pruning:
This common pruning function is used to considerably decrease the min-max
search space. It essentially keeps track of the worst and best moves for each
player so far, and using those can completely avoid searching branches
which are guaranteed to yield worse results. Using this pruning will return
the same exact moves as using min-max (i.e. there is no loss of accuracy).
Ideally, it can double the depth of the search tree without increasing search
time. To get close to this optimum, the available moves at each branch
should be appropriately sorted. The sorting is done by the looking at the
scores of each possible move, looking only 1 ply ahead. The intuitive sort
would be to arrange them from best to worst, but that's not always best. Most
moves in chess end up being ones with small gains and losses (ones that
improve position, not necessarily capturing pieces), so it makes sense to
order the "stand pat" moves first. So the sorting is based on the absolute
value of the move scores (with the smaller ones coming first). The average
branching factor for min-max in chess is about 35, but with the alpha-beta
pruning and sorting, the program achieves a branching factor of around 25.
