Does any one know what is Legal move generator is? as far as i can see it a programming terminology, but i don't understand what does it do, what is the specific use of it and why do we use that much in AI. Help please
Thanks a lot

I'm not sure exactly, but I think it's a program that determines which moves are legal in a board game. For example, in checkers, you could move one of your pieces in front of one of your opponent's, but your opponent would likely jump you. It's a legal move, but not a particularily smart one.
Perhaps a better term would be something to the effect of "a program that determines desirable moves". That's assuming my guess is correct, of course.

A legal move generator would probably be the first step in a board game AI. The LMG generates moves, and the next part of the AI would then evaluate these moves for desirability.
All the buzzt!
