Can you play your game at the console?
Nope. Only displays the board on the console. An early version had the
forward movement for pawns implemented.
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.
My code has display and engine as separate classes with a main loop
coordinating things between the two. The main loop requests the board
state (dict) from the engine class and passes that to show board on the
display class.
Here's the UCI protocol.

Very interesting. Something to add to my research notes. I'll muddle
through with my code and let it grow organically for now. If I decide
to write a chess engine that implements the UCI protocol, I'll start
over with a clean slate.
Thank you,
