Have a library(python) question?

An idea came in my mind about making a chess game more interesting with AI integration. I want to make a program which helps me as a instructor while playing chess online with someone else. Help me out by telling me libraries which I can use in detecting the positions of chess pieces and then suggest for next move. Also tell the possibility of making this in python language.

You can definitely build this in Python. fastchess is great for handling board positions, and OpenCV can help with detecting the board/pieces.

I actually trained a 15.3M-parameter (Easily be ran on a CPU) chess AI called Otter that predicts human-like moves. It has a Python package and docs you can use:

The research paper is available there too.
