Lucas Chess, (LucasChess)
a free, UCI compliant cross platform chess GUI by Lucas Monge and contributors [1], written in Python, released as open source under the GPL 3.0. Lucas Chess (R), released in June 2020, requires Python 3.7 rather than 2.7 and PySide2 (Qt5) instead of PyQt4 as the main graphic library, and further uses python-chess by Niklas Fiekas [2].
