Disclaimers and Warnings:
-Never use a web scraper for purposes outside of normal website use (at risk of having your IP blocked).
-I have no affiliation with the website that I am scraping in this repository, but I doubt anyone will have a problem with its use.
-Scraping is a product of the current state of a website and can easily become outdated/broken upon the update of a website.
-Chess move popularity will vary from database to database (and I've chosen the one that I thought was best).
