Any readily available AI code for a chess game out there to view for better understanding? Just wondering, I thought it might be out there due to the number of chess/checkers games on the Net. Thanks for any help, any response.

If it's the algorithm you want to understand, every chess implementation I know of uses the alpha-beta algorithm (an extension of minimax), so if you Google search for 'alpha beta chess' but without the quotation marks (just as individual words) you should get tons of online tutorials.

If it's the code, then searching for '"open source" chess' will get a few programs to look at.
