ChessGen

The problem

Implemented minimax with alpha-beta pruning for a console chess engine.

What I built

Implemented minimax with alpha-beta pruning for a console chess engine.

How it works

• web/index.html for the page structure
• web/styles.css for the board and layout (dark glass theme, animated board)
• web/engine.js for pure chess rules and state (no DOM — Node-testable)
• web/ai.js for evaluation and search
• web/app.js for the UI: rendering, input, sound, history

Tradeoffs and limits

This project does not currently have a hosted demo. Run and verification instructions live in the repository when available.

What I learned

Evaluated 10,000+ board states per move while keeping play responsive.
