Reddit: PGN to gif converter

Converts PGN in [pgn][/pgn] tags from http://reddit.com/r/chess (among other subreddits) into gifs hosted on imgur and to a lichess analysis board. It comments the links as a reply on reddit.

• Supports multiple PGN tags in a single post or comment
• Uses python-chess which has a lax PGN parsing
• Conversion to GIF using lila-gif (with the nice lichess chess board theme)
• Outputs multiple speed variants as an imgur album
• Only the main line of a PGN is supported

Examples can be seen on reddit: http://reddit.com/u/PGNtoGIF

Build instructions

1. Build lila-gif and run it
2. Copy config.default.py to config.py and add your keys (for reddit and imgur)
3. Install dependencies with pip3 install -r requirements.txt
4. Run the script with ./reddit-pgn-to-gif.py
