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.
