Tracking all available moves

The code needed to keep track of all the available moves for a player is as follows:

def get_all_available_moves(self, color):  result = []  for position in self.keys():    piece = self.get_piece_at(position)    if piece and piece.color == color:       moves = piece.moves_available(position)       if moves:         result.extend(moves)  return result

The description of the code is as follows:

• We have already coded the moves_available method in the previous iteration
• The preceding method simply iterates through every item in the dictionary and appends the moves_available result for every chess piece of a given color in a list named result
