Thera are big collections of full games. Search for them in the Web Computer Chess Resource Center (there is a link to it in the main page of the CCC), in the 'PGN collections' section. From there you can follow the opening moves of as many games as you want. As for 'ending' moves, I do not know if you mean the last moves of some games or the more traditional meaning of positions with few pieces. >so to make computer play i need to know if there are strating moves irrespective >of what the opponent plays ,if yes then where can i find them Not many. Since the 15th century the game of chess is a direct battle and you can not ignore what your opponent is doing. >also how do u decide whether the move is good or bad ie what do u look for when >playing your next move? You need two things: 1. A search routine which will produce a search tree from the current position. 2. An evaluation function to give a numerical score the to leaf positions of the search tree. From those two you can select a move to make. For more detailed info, visit again the Resource Center and follow the 'Programming Methods" section. José.
