new_front_end.py

"""
The main way to run this project is to run the runner.py file but runner.py was designed for programs to play
each other.

To allow my chess engine to play a single game against my Dad I created this hacky new front end for my chess program.
Every time he made a move I edited the below board to match the new board state and then re-ran this file
to get the next move of my engine. The below board is the point at which my dad (lowercase, black) resigned."""
