Subject: Chess Programmers: Please Share Your Experience!!!

I want to develop a chess application, and got a couple of questions for you
guys.

1. How much is important the design of such application (do we need a design at
all)?
2. When you wrote your first chess program, have you started from a scratch, or
used another source code as a guidance?
3. According to your experience, how much time does it take for an average
programmer (say, 3rd year com. science student) to develop a very simple chess
program with Win32 GUI interface in Visual C++?
4. Can anybody recommend me the good programming chess books?
5. What is the most important\difficult aspect of chess application?
6. What is the recommended algorithm (full depth search or alpha-beta prunning)?

Hope that a lot of people will benefit from your answers (not only me)

Thanks a lot.
