Source

```python

This enables the user to login to various chess websites (like lichess and chess.com) and also connect

to other open apis. Each GameSource has its own ChessGameDatabase associated with it for easy access to the

games. By doing so a variety of games are available to the program and therefor the user such as their

own (online) games but also master games and master game compilations. This module has an auto-update

function to make sure the games of the various sources are as up to date as possible. Each source can

be configured to only retrieve games from a certain time onwards or filter for certain players (e.g.

create databases that feature a single players' games). To make sure the process is as automatic as

possible authentication tokens of the user have to be saved locally. The user should always be able

to logout (deleting the tokens) and to login afterwards.
