Tech Stack

  • Python
  • Basic AI decision logic
  • Data structures for board representation

How It Works

  1. The board is initialized using standard chess rules.
  2. The engine evaluates legal moves from the current board state.
  3. A decision algorithm selects the best move based on evaluation logic.
  4. The board updates and gameplay continues until checkmate or draw.
