The "Chess Game Using Python" project is a console-based chess game developed in Python. It provides a user-friendly interface for playing chess against another player or a computer opponent. The game includes features such as player vs. player, player vs. AI, customizable timers, and a clear display of game results.

• Player vs. Player: Enjoy a classic game of chess with a friend or family member locally on the same device.
• Player vs. AI: Challenge yourself against an AI opponent using the Mini-Max algorithm for strategic gameplay.
• Customizable Timers: Add an extra layer of strategy with customizable timers for each player's turn.
• User-Friendly Interface: The graphical user interface (GUI) provides an intuitive and visually appealing experience.
• Offline Gameplay: Play the game without the need for an internet connection.
• Learning Opportunity: Use the game as a tool for learning and improving chess skills.

Before running the Chess Game, make sure you have the following installed:

• Python (version 3)
• Git
• Tkinter (usually included with Python installations)
• Pygame (install using pip install pygame)

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/dee-raj/Chess7Dee

2. Navigate to the project directory:
