IntroductionThere are a number of reasons why you may be interested in how a chess program is written:

  • You are learning programming and interested in learning something different.
  • You are a programmer who is interesting in developing their programming experience.

  • You are interested in developing a chess program and having it play other engines.

You do need to be an expert programmer to understand this book.The code is written as simply as possible.The code is designed to be simple even for intermediate and even novice programmers.

If you are not a programmer, but am interested in chess, this book may be of interest.

The book includes the source code for a complete chess engine. The program can be compiled using a freely downloadable compiler.You can alter the code and see if you can make it stronger.

The engine is strong enough to beat most social players.

  • Its very fast.
  • It displays the best line of play for both sides.
