This was my goal, but it is hard to make it works. Chess is more complex than
checkers. The very first approach to this problem was a program of Samuel (i
hope this is the right name). Its program is about 40 years old... but still we
have nothing similar in chess. I think that we will need something more complex
than a simple genethic algorithm. Maybe we need more than one GA to get
something good.

The better GA that we use are... the programmers ;-). They make selection, cross
and mutation as no automatic algorithm could do.
