Somebody ought to comment this in more detail...

I have one minor point. It looks like your test whether the location is on
the board is needlessly complex. Python understands multiple comparisons
like in mathematical notation, and not like in e.g. C language. This
snippet shows what I mean:

>>> [x for x in range(10) if 2<x<7] # 2<x<7 means 2<x and x<7
[3, 4, 5, 6]

Read about it in the reference:
