The best code is the code you don't have to write. I like these short cuts and I played and lost a game against this beauty after reading the code. He did not use any chess-specific libs. Just pure and simple python.

I am proud to not contribute much to LOC counts on most of the teams I worked as I clean up a lot after my colleagues to keep code duplications low and pointless code out. Less code is normally easier to maintain as long as you follow some other coding practices and don't go and inline everything.
