I built my first playing chess engine (#Chess) in a month, but it played very
poorly. After that I've upgraded it a lot, and then I started on a new engine.
Building a chess engine takes lots of time, but it is also great fun!

1. Don't let initial poor results let you down.
2. Keep things simple.
3. Implement some ways to catch bugs (removing bugs really improves the engine).
