The Joy of Chess Programming
This book includes my experiences with creating my own chess engine. It begins with first experiences with computer chess from books, magazines, movies and dedicated chess computers.It progresses to when I had enough knowledge to write an amateur engine and was able to compete in computer chess tournaments.
Eventually, my engine was strong enough to reach about 2400 ELO strength. It can find Bobby Fischer’s ...Be6 in the famous Game of the Century in a fraction of a second.
It gives insights into how chess engines work and how they select a move.
There are numerous tips on how we human players can learn from how computers play.
There are several reasons why you may be interested in how a chess program is written.
If so, you may be interested in my book How to Write a Chess Program.
A similar book is How to Write a BitBoard Chess Engine.
I have several other books on chess programming.
I have another book on computer chess called Think Like a Computer which includes several games with engines playing engines at a shallow depth. This illustrates how engines evaluate positions.
Note that The Joy of Chess Programming does not include any program code or coding examples. It explains some general concepts about chess programming but does not explain how to write a chess program.
