You aren't going to find a simpler use of classes. Maybe a simpler
script to use classes, but not a simpler class.
All you need to do (I think) is add the class definition, change the two
lines that create whitePlayer and blackPlayer, then change each list
access, such as
currentPlayer[NAME]
to an attribute access like
currentPlayer.name
Once you do that I think you will have a working program, then you can
think about possibly moving some code into methods.
