I found an interesting website. You can play chess against it, and it shows what the computer is thinking as you play, in the form of pretty lines going across the board. It's a lovely idea, and demonstrates the complexity of the AI well. Don't try playing a full game though, it takes ages to actually move.

Initial Idea
For my extended project, I'm going to design and program a chess AI, a computer capable of playing chess against a human player. I've looked on the internet (mainly a lot of Wikipedia articles), and I reckon I can make it, and implement quite a few interesting features. It fits in pretty well with the subjects I'm doing, there's definitely maths involved. Although it would be a lot more relevant if I was doing Computer Science at university. Ah well.
I've programmed a few simple games, such as Connect Four, so making a playable chess game shouldn't be a problem, but making the AI actually work to a decent level, and not take hours to make a move, will be a good challenge.
