If my opinion insterest anyone, I'd recommend starting implementing the code from very general (and sometimes stupid, at least mine :)) and writing a super-simple chess program. That's the way you start understanding what's happening all along the search tree. Next task is improve it, always from abstract ideas. When you have enough experience, then you're ready to study other people programs. If you don't start from the begining, it's true that you can write a strong program from other people sources, but you will not be able to improve it much, cause you won't understand the way the program works. Just my opinion.
