A very simple program called KC Chess written by Kevin Phillips and Craig S.
Bruce was written in PASCAL.  It goes only 4 ply I believe, but it is very well
documented.  I am using a report they did on as my 'bible' of sorts as I try to
make my program.
For thing I noticed is that I found interesting is that for the board they made
a 10 x 10 array rather than 8 x 8 so they can check for legality of moves
easier.  There are lots if other interesting things in the report too.
