These are the places to look first: You need a postscript reader and gzip decompressor for this: http://brick.bitpit.net/~marcelk/2002/marcelk-thesis.ps.gz These are very good: http://www.gamedev.net/reference/programming/features/chess1/ http://republika.pl/nesik/download//SomeAspectsOfChessProgramming.zip http://www.brucemo.com/compchess/programming/index.htm http://www.chessbrain.net/beowulf/theory.html http://www.ics.uci.edu/~eppstein/180a/s97.html Read everything before doing anything.
