• The first player(playerOne variable in code) is considered here to be white and the second player(playerTwo variable in code) is considered to be black.
• Whether a player is Human or AI is controlled by the line no. 49 and 50 for playerOne and playerTwo respectively in the chessMain.py file in the src directory
  A player is Human if the boolean value of the variable said above is set to True and AI if it is set to False(Yes, this means we can enjoy an AI vs AI match by setting both variables to False)
