Subject: How To Improve Your Chess: Write a Chess Program?!?

Author: Ralph Patriquin

I was just toying with this idea tonight. Would writing a chess program help
your chess playing? I'm thinking in particular of a program that relies more
on evaluation than brute force search. Would the act of explicitly writing
out the algorithms so that a computer can understand, for example, weak squares
or passed pawns help your play? Would this exercise help clarify your own
thinking in actual play? Is it worth doing with chess improvement as the
primary goal? Any comments from all who've been there are appreciated.
