If you are not a programmer, but am interested in chess, this book may be of interest. The book includes annotation of the source code for a complete chess engine the author has developed as a teaching tool.The complete source code is available at GitHub . The program can be edited with any text editor and run on a web page.You can alter the code and see if you can make it stronger. The program is a derivative of my program referred to in my earlier book How to Write a BitBoard Chess Engine . The engine is strong enough to beat most social players. Features of the engine include: It can play a human or itself. It has the ability to load positions. It is reasonably fast. It displays the best line of play for both sides. Detects checkmate. Detects draws by repetition, 50 move rule, stalemate or reduction of material. EvaluationThe engine evaluates elements of a position including: Material. Piece position. King safety. Pawn structure. Passed pawns etc SearchThe engine uses a standard alpha-beta minimax search including: Cut offs. Move ordering. History moves, Hash tables. Extensions. Reductions. Capture search. And much more...
