Here's a good introduction:

http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/chess1/

Other advice I would offer would be to get something working
pretty quickly and then work on an interface to winboard/xboard,
which will give you the ability to run your program at ICC.
You'll find this pretty encouraging and a good test of basic
issues in your program.

Good luck.
