Displaying chess pieces on the chessboard

Now, let's turn our attention to displaying all the chess pieces on the chessboard.

First, we'll define a method named draw_single_piece, which draws a chess piece at the given position when it's given a position, and the character representing the chess piece as follows (see 4.03—view.py):

def draw_single_piece(self, position, piece):  x, y = self.controller.get_numeric_notation(position)  if piece:    filename = "../pieces_image/{}_{}.png".format(piece.name.lower(), piece.color)    if filename not in self.images:      self.images[filename] = PhotoImage(file=filename)    x0, y0 = self.calculate_piece_coordinate(x, y)    self.canvas.create_image(x0, y0, image=self.images[filename],                           tags=("occupied"),  anchor="c")
