They can always move one square forward if it‘s empty. The pawns might be the most basic piece in the game but they are the ones with the most special rules. The sliding pieces (rook, bishop, queen) require for loops to go in a straight or diagonal line and stop when it’s either out of bounds, covered by a piece of the same color, or after a square with an enemy piece. If the target square is in bounds and not covered by a piece of the same color, it’s a possible move. They both have 8 squares where they can go to, jumps for the knight, and all adjacent squares for the king. The possible moves are all squares a piece can go to according to its basic chess movement patterns. The first step in finding all legal moves is to find all possible moves so we can remove the illegal ones later on.

Unfortunately, it was never good enough to defeat me in a game.Īs a new challenge, I want to create a chess AI that’s strong enough to defeat me as an, optimistically put, average chess player. One of my first projects, when I was learning C++, was to develop a chess AI. While I have been playing a bit and doing a lot of puzzles, it mostly got me interested in developing my own chess engine again. I have also rediscovered my love for chess after watching the show. A lot of people who were stuck at home during the lockdowns picked up online chess as a pastime and after Netflix released their amazing show The Queen’s Gambit, even more people got interested in the game.
Chess has experienced a massive boom in 2020.
