Actually, the chess programming papers will be more helpful. For online
resources, I would suggest the pages of Bruce Moreland, Colin Frayn, and James
Swafford.

http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~cmf/chess/theory.html
{James Swafford's programming pages don't seem to be available}
Also this sequence of articles:
http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/chess1/
Simple programs:
TSCP {lacks hash table and move list}
Olithink {lacks move list}
MSCP {lacks move list}
SCP {Has a move list, but lacks other things}
Medium complexity programs:
Gerbil {half way between simple and complex}
Faile
Beowulf
Pepito
Resp
Complex engines:
Arasan
Crafty
ExChess
Phalanx
