When I decided to write a chess engine I read everything I could find on chess
programming on the Internet.  Then I read the source code for TSCP.  I would
recommend this approach to anyone interested in starting today except that I
wouls substitute Bruce Moreland's Gerbil for TSCP as I feel it's more readible
and better commented.

As you probably know, this board is a good resource also.  I asked so many
"dumb" questions here that it's amazing they let me post anymore...  If you have
an account on ICC, you may find some chess programmers lurking in channel 64.

Good luck,
Scott
