Both the code and image can be posted here directly fairly trivially.

The code as text, and the image just as an image.

[woven ginkgo]

Ehh, I mean he could also just input the moves into a chess guide.

It's not like it's an effort to cheat in chess.

[woven ginkgo]

but can u all tell me the error 😭

[remote cairn]

You're supposed to send us the error.

What's your issue?

More importantly, why do you want to do chess with image rec?

That's so much resource for sth that doesn't need it.

[remote cairn]

That's simple. The image path is wrong.

[woven ginkgo]

whts right?

[remote cairn]

I don't know. Check the path of the images.

I can't see your pc man. You have to check the path of the images, and input it there correctly.

[woven ginkgo]

lol see screenshot is in same folder as the .py and pawn.png in /pieces

[remote cairn]

Pass the full path. Try that.

[woven ginkgo]
