I agree completely with the above.
Other suggestions for achievable subgoals:
- a tic-tac-toe program
- a connect four program
- a program to play a simple ending such as K+Q vs K
- a program to play pawn endgames

You could of course just download the source to a complete program such as TSCP
or something similar, but I think you'd be better off trying to write something
of your own first.

Have fun!
