# Chess Engine in C — Project Goal
|
|
|
|
Build a clean, fast chess engine in C that starts from a FEN string and produces fully legal moves, verified via **PERFT** for correctness and speed.
|
|
|
|
## Approach
|
|
- **Correctness-first engine:** `FEN → board → legal movegen → PERFT`
|
|
|
|
## Future Work
|
|
- Incorporate algorithms and evaluation methods for chess positions to enable an **AI player**
|
|
|
|
- Build an API to facilitate chess games with the AI player over the web.
|
|
- Starting with a commandline client
|
|
- Later building a web based client
|
|
|
