Hi there!

Beowulf is written with the skilled beginner in mind.  It helps if you're
already strong in 'c'.  It is very heavily commented.  The URL is

http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~cmf/chess/beowulf.html

There is also a comprehensive theory page with all the major algorithms that
you're likely to need explained from the ground up.

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Colin
