Hi @zeffii, had tried to contact you via "blenderstackexchange" and in this page "https://blender.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/2434/how-do-i-send-a-message-to-a-specific-user/2435?noredirect=1#comment5367_2435" I had written this message:
/--------------------------------------------------
Hello zeffii, forgive me if I steal some attention from you. I'm a chess enthusiast, I modeled a chessboard (http://www.avelino.it/wa/scacchiera/) and (not knowing Python) I embarked on writing a program that reads a game from a PGN file and, controlled by a Tkinter interface via the Forward, Back buttons etc., should make moves on the chessboard. The program is only sketched out, and I found out only now that the moves are executed, but the 3D view updates only when the script ends. I have looked for solutions on the web and none seem to work.

I tried to implement the brilliant solution you proposed in the script of the page "blender.stackexchange.com/questions/28673/…; but given my poor python knowledge I could not get any results!

If I sent you the Blender file and the script, would you have the chance to give it a look?
Thank you and excuse me for the length of the message. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

.... and thank you very much for this very useful addon.
