Some pages discussing practical move generation?

[vittyvirus]

I googled for it, to my surprise even chessprogramming website hasn't a specific article discussing move generation without confusion. I've programmed a move generator, (BTW, I've implemented bitboards too), but that's for array like representation and is somewhat slower and buggy. But I guess I've completed the challenge, or at least a part of it -_-.
Anyway, is there some webpage with code examples that discusses move generation (except that winglet one)??

There is a good paper located on this page regarding move generation:

I've written a *very* simple engine over the last few months using CPW (thanks guys) as my primary guide; what are you finding confusing?

Feel free to browse the code, it doesn't get much more basic, so should be pretty readable and may help as a starting point for you; at least conceptually.

I use the same board representation in my own very primitive engine.

I am using bitboards... and I can write a awful move generqtor myself but I know people out there have done better -_-

Can you write a correct (possibly slow) one? Have you?

It is easy to say "I can do". Doing is what counts.

So now we need to write the entire move generation code for you ? And we also need to write a website to explain it to you ? Then what code are *you* going to write ?

What happenned to the "I'm so smart, I'm gonna revolutionize computer chess and make the next generation SF and Houdini killer" ?

The first thing to learn is humility. And only then you can realize your own limits and compare them to the task at hand, and make informed decisions...

Precisely; remind me not to try and help again...

I've had a lot of fun creating Lozza, especially by KISS and arriving at something that plays legal chess in a relatively short period of time; something I can now tourney against similar engines to help me creep up on ability by trying out new techniques and approaches. Lozza will never be a ball-breaker, but the fact it's web based opens up lots of scope for interesting UIs and apps... and fun!

Which is your engine Louis?

Yes, infact I have wrote one (partially).
