Start with something simpler if you don't know what you are doing.  Writing a
chess program is not incredibly hard, but it does require some technical skill.

It is likely that you'll have more success and attain more satisfaction if you
try something less complex.  If you really want to write a computer game
program, try backgammon.  It is possible to write a backgammon program that can
beat a casual backgammon player often, without much difficulty.
