A chess program written in C using MinMax algorithm that can be played on the command line.
- Single-Player(Playing against the computer) and Dual Player Mode.
- Supports Forsyth Edwards Format for storing board position FEN is a format which stores the state of the chessboard as a string.
- We can choose the hardness level although requires good computing power for a hard(depth 8) level.
- Can detect en passant square if there exists one.
- Checks for the 50 move rule
- Checking for Invalid moves made
- Has a unique hashey for each position on the board.
- Maintains history of all the moves played so you can perform a takeback in case a wrong move is played.
- First clone the repo using command below:
git clone https://github.com/vaibhavg20comp/chess.git
- Run the file ChessJedi.c using command:
gcc -o ChessJedi ChessJedi.c
- Run the executable by putting below in terminal:
./ChessJedi
- Select the mode and the hardness level. To make a move just enter the source positon and destination position of the piece. Eg. 'e2e4' will move the piece(intitially pawn) from square e2 to square e4.
- In case you want to search the best move by going into a certain depth you can press 's'.
- To takeback a move press 't'.
- Adding GUI to the engine
- Adding a provision to save the current game.
- Adding timer to the gameplay and other modes like Bullet , Classic etc.
- Add some book moves(sort of lookup table) in the game to allow faster response to certain move patterns.
- Variable tree depth- when situation is dynamic(king in check or exchange going on).
