We've previously said that most of the algorithms we are looking at on this post series are common to many other games. This post will explain how to make an engine that plays Connect Four and in the meantime prepare the road for the chess engine. We are going ...

In the previous post we've discussed about how to choose the best move in a game. The algorithm we've talked about is quite simple but a little detail was ignored: the move generation. Actually we've omit this detail because it's not a small topic and it ...

A chess engine selects the best move to do given a board configuration. There are several ways to achieve it, despite the common sense, the most used and studied is the simplest: exhaustive search.

I had flu last weekend and I've looked for something to take advantage of the long stay at home. Eventually I took back some of my old work done on chess engines as I've been thinking recently about making some experiments on them again.

I've started downloading ...
