This is the extremely unofficial Computer Chess Programming Link List

This list is a bit old, anyone found any new excellent pages or texts
regarding computer chess programming? Any info appreciated...
I'm searching for info for my school project, to make a chess program
and write a report of the methods used.. unfortunately it will be in
swedish..

happens it's not my fault.. bla bla...
//---- Good Computer Chess Programming Links
> Report on chess program project - R. Kevin Phillips & Craig S. Bruce
> http://ccnga.uwaterloo.ca/~csbruce/CHESS/report.txt
*Excellent* report about their undergraduate project, a chess program
> ICS 180A, Spring 1997: Strategy and board game programming - David Eppstein
> http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/180a/s97.html
*Excellent* set of pages about making boardgame programs!
> G13GT1 -- Game Theory - A. N. Walker
> http://www.maths.nott.ac.uk/personal/anw/G13GT1/compch.html
> http://www.maths.nott.ac.uk/personal/anw/G13GT1/alphabet.html
Excellent page describing often used heuristics in chess programs.
Another excellent page with good pictures that describe in easy
language how alpha-beta pruning works..
> The Anatomy of Chess Programs - T.A. Marsland
> http://www.cs.rulimburg.nl/icca/anatomy.htm
Good general description of how chess programs work
> MTD(f) A Minimax Algorithm faster than NegaScout - Aske Plaat
> http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~plaat/mtdf.html
Easy explanation and implementation of the MTD(f) algorithm
> Research Re: search & Re-search - Aske Plaat
> http://theory.lcs.mit.edu/~plaat/abstr-ks.html
A very good text about search algorithms in general and MTD(f)
especially.
Can be a bit technical and is available only in postscript form.
> Sequential Computer Chess
> http://www.npac.syr.edu/copywrite/pcw/node342.html
Basic theory behind a chess program...
> Minimax and Alpha-Beta Template - Amy S. Biermann
> http://pete.cs.caltech.edu/Archetype/Papers/AB1/node2.html
Explanation about how minimax and alpha-beta works.
> Computer Chess Programming - Paul Verhelst
> http://www.xs4all.nl/~verhelst/chess/programming.html
The Programming Techniques section is very good..
