COMPUTER CHESS
by Dan and Kathe Spracklen
Dan and Kathe Spracklen are the authors of Sargon, the most popular chess playing program for home computers.
E ver wonder how a computer can play a game of chess? Just think about it. Chess is a strategy game. You have to study the board and plan how to maneuver your pieces. Finally, after devising a complex strategy, you play the decisive move-checkmate! How can a computer study a chess board? How can it make plans? How can it checkmate?
Taken all at once, the problem might seem unsolvable. But the job can be broken down into three main parts:
1) The mechanics phase: describing a chess board and pieces in a way the computer can understand and teaching it how to move the pieces according to the rules of chess.
2) The search phase: looking ahead at what can happen as the game progresses. The computer still can't make real plans the way a human does, but instead must look at thousands of possibilities-many times more than the human mind can handle.
3) The evaluation phase: sizing up the merits of a particular position on the chess board. It wouldn't do any good for the computer to look at all those positions if it didn't know which ones were better than the others. Sure, it might know when the other guy is checkmated. But if mate isn't in sight how does it know what to do?

Computer Chess Programming Theory
Negamax Search
This is the fundamental structure around which the rest of chess tree searching algorithms are based. To put it simply, Negamax tree searching implements the idea that "The worse your opponent's best reply is, the better your move."
Implementing this is surprisingly easy. It uses the fact that chess is a symmetric game, and that therefore the analysis function must give symmetric scoring. That is to say that at any point, the score for white is exactly minus the score for black, or equivalently the sum of the two scores always equals zero.
This is quite straightforward to understand. If white is winning by one pawn, then clearly black is losing by the same amount. This principal can be extended to positional advantages, i.e. if white has doubled rooks on one file, then white has a bonus score, whereas black's position is weaker by the same amount because of this.
Negamax simply implements the following rough search steps;

    Game Description
    Although the Atari VCS version of the game was canceled, Computer Chess was released for Atari's 8-bit computers, and it's a pretty good simulation of the intellectually stimulating board game. There are eight difficulty levels from which to choose (ranging from beginner to expert), interfacing is smooth and easy, and the program includes a number of chess problems to solve. The board is green and orange, and the chess pieces are fairly well drawn (if a bit simplistic). The computer makes stupid mistakes in the first couple of levels while the hardest two levels are prohibitively time consuming as the computer takes a long time in making its moves. Overall, Computer Chess is a respectable, though uneven gaming experience. ~ Brett Alan Weiss, All Game Guide
