So far, it understands the rules of chess and can find all legal moves in any position. It has a depth of five half moves, only counting material to find moves.
My current step is re-writing how it passes information and finds moves to shorten the time taken to select a move.

I've recently started on a project for fun. I want to build a program, fully from scratch, using Python, that can beat me and better players than myself in chess. Should be fun.
Updates will come when progress is made.
