Bug Description

When I install pychess on Ubuntu 20.04, nothing happens.

Looking in the taskbar, I see that it seems to be started, but no GUI is showing up.
I can end it over the right click on the icon in the taskbar, but nothing else.

If I start PyChess over the command line, it starts normally.

Please fix this, as PyChess is the only chess GUI that can use even the strongest chess engines like Stockfish and the only one who have sophisticated commentary.

Same here on Ubuntu 20.04(.1). For me it seems like an incompatibility with gnuchess (gnuchessu). I had to uninstall package gnuchess, delete pychess config files (~/.config/pychess, ~/.local/share/pychess) and re-run pychess. All works then.
