Correct blunders from your previous games on Chess.com

Briefly

A Flask app that randomly selects previously played positions where you had made an innacuracy. Improve your chess by finding the moves you missed!

Installation

1. git clone https://github.com/StevenAdema/blunder-scout.git
2. pip install -r requirements.txt
3. env\Scripts\activate
4. python app.py
5. Open http://127.0.0.1:5000/ in the browser

How it works

1. User submits their chess.com username.
2. read_pgn.py calls the chess.com API to retrieve game history.
3. python-chess library analyzes a random set of games.
4. A DataFrame of all moves, optimal moves determined by the engine, and game metadata is created.
5. A random innacurate move is selected and fed to the appropriate template HTML file.

WIP

• display feedback message on move guesses
• show hints (e.g. highlight piece to move)
• reveal best move on both board and in button
