Package: pychess
Version: 0.6.0.beta5-1
Severity: important

After a game is in progress, the "pychess" process consumes all 
available CPU, and two other "python" processes that seem to be related 
to pychess take some CPU as well.  This is true even if pychess is 
waiting for the user to make a move.

The game is still playable, except that occasionally it seems to get 
bogged down in something and won't allow a piece to be dragged.  This is 
compounded by the "click-to-move" option; I inadvertently moved a piece 
to a place I didn't want when clicking elsewhere to see if the game had 
frozen.  (And, of course, there was no Undo feature, and even if there 
was, I couldn't have used it anyway because the menus were frozen.)

After a few of these, my game was a lost cause, so I went to close 
pychess with the window manager Close button, only to be presented with 
a blank dialog.  Closing the dialog with the window manager Close button 
seemed to have no effect; the game was still playable, and the menus 
were still frozen.  I could not exit the game without manually sending a 
SIGTERM to the pychess process.

After starting a brand new game and making no moves, I was able to close 
the game.  A dialog telling me a game had "unsaved changes" came up, and 
gave me the option of "Revert" or "Close"; hitting "Revert" caused 
pychess to exit.  Perhaps the UI confusion here is worthy of a second 
bug report, but IMHO the issues with CPU usage and UI freezing are more 
important.
