The original idea was to pass a Pawn dictionary to the constructor of 
the Pawn object. The Piece object will throw a NotImplementedError if 
called directly. I guess I'll have to look at pickle sooner rather than 
later.

Good catch. I knew I was forgetting something. I overrode variable in 
the Knight class to produce the correct notation.

Thank you,
