Chess

Fun project for my spare time and to learn about OOD.

GOALS

To learn about object oriented design through a fun game

To experiment with elements of AI such as:

• Decision trees, using pruning algorithm called Alpha-Beta
• Plans to implement a faster sorting algorithm, maybe Quick Sort

To familiarize myself with the principles of chess engine design, like:

• Bitboards versus mailbox addressing
• Depth searching and static evaluation
