Creating a chess engine in C using the Alpha-Beta pruning algorithm

[rppc]

Good evening, everyone!

I'm willing to create a chess engine in C resorting the Alpha-Beta pruning algorithm, but I can't seem to find any documentation on the issue...

Does any of you know where I can get that information from and whether the Alpha-Beta pruning algorithm is the best option for creating a chess engine?

Take care,

Really? Did you try something line this first?

[rppc]

Yes, mate, I have...

Can you find any sort of helpful tutorial in there? I was hoping you had more sources here and it's different to have a programmer to programmer (wannabe) conversation.

This looks helpful.
And so does this.

But if you're just learning how to program, I'd recommend starting smaller. Perhaps try writing a chess game where you play against yourself first.

Thank you.
