chess-algorithms

Can I build a chess engine that can beat me in chess? (~1900 ELO)

Rules:

• To start, no neural networks allowed.
• Only hardcoding chess "knowledge". (IBM Deep Blue style)
• No opening handbooks allowed (although if its first few moves are terrible I might have to relax this a bit)

Status: No

The pygame GUI implementation is largely inspired by Eddie Sharick's tutorials on youtube. He has a great series on creating a python chess engine, although here the python-chess package is used. Check him out!
