I mean yes from algorithm one can write but the main thing is board technique.Without looking board techniques like bitboard,offset etc, how can one write on their own? Ofcourse its possible but there will lot of struggles and it will take long time.. And yes simple board technique like array[8][8] is possible but I am learning offset(used in gerbil) and bitboard techniques.So please be kind enough to reply not in a rude manner.Thanks.
