I would say that C and C++ are among the *worst* possible languages for artificial intelligence. For artificial intelligence, you need a very high-level language. C and C++ are good for implementing simple to moderately complicated algorithms which are already developed and perfectly understood. This is about as far from AI as you can get. I agree that C/C++ is a good choice for a chess program (at least when portability is important), but chess programming using conventional methods cannot be called AI. >Indeed is better to start with another simple project, chess programming >requires a lot of techniques and it can be complex for a beginner. As the very first project, chess programming is probably a bit too ambitious. But it is not terribly difficult (unless you want to beat the top programs, of course), and it should be possible to start working on it rather early (perhaps after a month or two of working on more elementary programs).
