Testing the changes
Why should this package be removed?
pychess at its current state does not work. I have attempted several times to update it to 1.1.0. However even if I do manage to do so, the program itself does not work. I followed the program's own guide regarding dependencies and how to build, and yet at best I could see the main menu. I was not able to start a game. I was not able to view a game. I was only able to connect to a network. However even when I did I could not play a game of chess through the network. The program does not output an error I could possibly try to patch or fix. In fact even in its debug mode it does not output anything additional.
For sake of thoroughness I tested this package on another computer (both 1.1.0 and 1.0.5 build) and got similar results. The current version 1.0.5 on the repository does not work. It seems one of the python version updates broke it. Additionally the package has recently got orphaned, so I believe it would be best to remove it entirely.
