How far along are you in your engine development?
I can display a text-based chess board on the console (looks better
with a mono font).

With feedback from this list, I had to break a lot of bad Java habits
to make the code more Pythonic. Right now I'm going back and forth
between writing documentation and unit tests. Once I finalized the
code in its current state, I'll post it up on GitHub under the MIT
license. Future updates will have a fuller console interface and
moves for individual pieces implemented.
Thank you,

Wanted to start a new thread, rather than use the 'motivated' thread.
Can you play your game at the console?
The way I think about a chess engine is it doesn't even display a board.
It accepts a move as input, records the move, analyzes the positions
after the move, and returns the next move.
Here's the UCI protocol.
