Answers.Text: I just tried pychess but it didn't want to analyse my game. I want to do the moves that I wrote down during my RL game and have it constantly analyse and tell me the evaluation. But instead it started to play back. After I took back the move that the engine had done I could input my game (the engine didn't play anymore) but neither did it analyse anything. There was no way to get it to analyse again. Totally broken imho.

Comments.Text: What exactly do you need a chess GUI for? As far as I understand chess GUI allow you to play against a computer engine or against players (human and silicon) on FICS/ICC. I do neither, so don't have a GUI installed. I do play against humans on lichess (via browser or app on phone) and use scid as a database/learning tool (which does interface with an engine). My point is, are you sure that you need a GUI?
