Computer Chess Programming

This is my personal collection of (pointers to) information about computer chess programming. I intend to add more information in the future.

• Reference Material
• Computer Chess Books
• Computer Chess Journals
• Computer Chess Publications
• Programming Techniques
• Chess Board Representations
• Chess Tree Search
• Chess Program Sources
• Endgame databases

See A guide to Endgames Tablebase.

• Ken Thompson (ken@entrisphere.com) has distributed three volumes on CD ROM with a number of 5 piece endgame databases. They seem no longer to be available. There are some commercial distributions of the same CD ROMs, but I have no pointers at the moment.
• Steven Edwards is creating a series of endgame databases. They are available from ftp://darkside.its-s.tudelft.nl/Crafty/TB/.
• Malinov’s endgame tablebases are available from http://www.chesslib.no/Nalimov.htm
