ChessJS: Another project by Works Worth Wording

JavaScript based Chess engine that will eventually beat Magnus Carlsen.

Getting Started

Running it is easy, as it's HTML-based. Clone it and run index.html on your favourite browser.

git clone https://github.com/ionwyn/ChessJS.git

Or simply visit my website

Prerequisites

• It would be nice if you know how to play chess
• If you don't, play it anyway.

Running the tests

There are no test cases, and there shouldn't be any. Use Mathematical induction to prove that the theorem/algorithm works.

Notes before contributing

Please take a look at gameLogic.js. Other files are related to game rules and front-end work.

I am building a chess engine; I am not interested in spending 10,000 hours to train your Neural Network. I am interested in the clever ways in which we can improve the efficiency of the current traditional chess engine in progress here.

What we have so far:

• Minimax tree with Alpha-beta pruning
• Sorted game-tree nodes to optimize search
• Zobrist Hashing

TODO (sorted based on priority):

• Implement chess opening book
