Cloning this repo

To successfully clone Chess-Cheat from this repo and execute it you need to run:

git clone https://github.com/GabrieleMaurina/chess-cheat.git

Then install the following dependencies:

• Python 3
• Tensorflow
• Numpy
• Stockfish installed in your system
• Stockfish for python
• Pillow
• Pyscreenshot
• Timeout decorator

How it works

Chess-Cheat is based on Tensorflow_Chessbot for recognizing the chessboard on your screen.

It uses Stockfish to compute the best move.

It displays the arrows and the buttons on the screen with Tkinter.

Why is the arrow blinking?

Because the image recognition model needs to see the board unobstructed. By making the arrow blink, it has a chance to capture the screen.
