UNDER THE CHESS ENGINE'S HOOD:
HOW A COMPUTER PLAYS CHESS
It's not my intent to provide a complete course in how a
computer chess engine is programmed; most readers would
find the topic pointless and maybe a little boring. But, to be
able to make full use of a digital training and analysis partner,
there are a few things which every player who uses a chess
program needs to know about how a computer plays chess
and analyzes positions. I promise to make this chapter as
painless as possible; hopefully I can even make it a little bit
entertaining.
