[Python] Print out chess board from list of objects

I have the following task to print on screen the pieces of the chees board, they have to be in this format ♔ but this is the least of the problem.

if I loop through I get this <main.Rook object at 0x7fc8fa510790>, how can I code --> if main.Rook == ♖,

The output when the code is completed should be like that:

♖ ♔  
 ♜  ♜
 ♚ ♜ 
♖   ♗
♗    



at the moment I build the board like that



class Piece:
pos_x : int
pos_y : int
side_ : bool #True for White and False for Black
def __init__(self, pos_X : int, pos_Y : int, side_ : bool):
'''sets initial values'''
self.pos_x=pos_X
self.pos_y=pos_Y
self.side_=side_ #maybe set it to True?

def __str__(self):#
return f"{self.pos_x} {self.pos_y} {self.side_}"

def get_side(self):
return side_

class Rook(Piece):
def __init__(self, pos_X : int, pos_Y : int, side_ : bool):
'''sets initial values by calling the constructor of Piece'''
super().__init__(pos_X, pos_Y, side_)
def __repr__(self):
if self.side_==False:
return "♜"
else:
return "♖"


wr1 = Rook(1,2,True)
br1 = Rook(4,3,False)
br2 = Rook(2,4,False)
br3 = Rook(5,4, False)
wr2 = Rook(1,5, True)
B1 = (10, [wr1,br1, br2, br3, wr2])



so now I am working on the following function, I did not go to far, I can get the piece position, side and so on but how would I know if they are ROOK or something else, if I had a variable I could use their name for example, but here I have an object, can someone illustrate a method how to approach this?

def conf2unicode(B: Board) -> str:
'''converts board cofiguration B to unicode format string (see section Unicode board configurations)'''
for piece in B[1]:
print (piece)
