If this is the wrong kind of query to pose this group then I would be grateful if you could direct me elsewhere - and, should that be the case, please accept my apologies.
I am looking for a simple, bare-bones chess-playing program with a graphical front end that I will be able to adapt to incorporate my own evaluation function. The basic functionality should include, knowledge of legal moves, tree-searching (pruning etc.) but little else. In particular I do not wish the program to have knowledge of openings, end games etc. My motivation is to explore the game-playing behaviour of a specific, simple evaluation function. By that, I mean the function that assigns as score to a given position. This is motivated by my own curiosity. If the experimental outcome merits it, I might make the modified program and the results available through a web page or suchlike. Naturally I will be happy to conform to the terms of the GPL in any work I do. Do you think Gnu chess might be a good starting point ? If so, is it possible to access and modify the code under Windows or does it require Linux ?
