[net.chess] Chess computer heuristic

schwadro@aecom.UUCP (David Schwadron) (11/07/84)

Does anybody out there have any experience with writing chess programs?
I have written one and need some suggestions on heuristic static evaluators
for given board positions. Any possible pruning methods will also be
appreciated (I will probably use Alpha-Beta). Finally, I find that pieces
that are pinned cause slight problems to most evaluators. Please send any 
and comments/or suggestions about any of the above topics.

Thanx alot,
