Description: MzChess: a chess GUI using PyQt5 and `chess`_ modules
        ==========================================================
        
        The chess GUI allows for:
        
         * play standard chess games
         * configure the game header
         * load and/or save games and/or databases with many games
         * configure and run Universal Chess Interface (`UCI`_) engines
         * detects Encyclopaedia of Chess Openings (`ECO`_)
         * annotates games or single moves
         * shows score graphs
         * allows to monitor scores and move hints continously (for training purposes)
         * allows to warn on danger (for training purposes)
         * allows to show move options (for training purposes)
        
        It supports the following game formats:
        
         * Portable Game Notation (`PGN`_) standard
         * Pickled PGN (*PPNG*), an internal format for rapid loading
        
        Installing
        --------------
        
        If you’re on Linux, you should install
        the binary packages *PyQt5*, *PyQt5.QtChart*, and - if available - *PyQt5.QtSvg* using
        the `Linux Package Manager`_ to avoid a compilation of the huge sources. 
        Then, download and install the latest release:
        
        ::
        
            pip install mzChess
            
        Running the GUI
        -----------------------
        
        An executable is generated and installed in python's *Scripts* directory. 
        So, if this directory is in your search *PATH*, you type simply
        
        ::
        
            mzChess
        
        to start the GUI
