'''''PyChess''''' is a [[free software]] [[chess]] client developed for [[GNU]]. It allows users to play offline or online via the [[Freechess|Free Internet Chess Server]] (FICS). PyChess also incorporates a built-in [[chess engine]], which in contrast to most other chess [[AI|AIs]]s is written in the [[Python programming language|Python]] language and focuses more on fun of play than raw strength. For more advanced users, PyChess allows for virtually any other external chess engine to be used with it.<ref>{{Cite web

The PyChess project puts heavy emphasis on simplicity, trying to avoid the complicated [[user interfaces]] of [[XBoard]] and BabasChess. This implies adding new features slowly, so they can be integrated in the overall usage scheme, and make things "just work". At the same time the project strives to contain most of the features known from major Windows chess clients such as [[Chessbase]] and ''Aquarium'' by ChessOK.
