I finally programmed my 1st very weak Engine

[Chessqueen]

I have not done any programming since I left the Air Force back in 2004, but anyway I decided to call it ChessPawn which is about 980 at the most and I gave it a Rook odds. I will not make this very weak version available since it was for my own curiosity and I do not have any plan to make any stronger version either.

Congrats on the new addiction! In all seriousness, creating an engine that plays chess is something to be proud of.

This is a small chess engine of only 2200 characters of source-code, I only implemented a hash transposition table, checking of the legality of the input moves, and FIDE rules. I knew that is was going to be very weak since I only spent 10 days and it was to satisfy my curiosity, but no desire to work on it any further, I might modify it and create a Minichess engine on a 6x6 board where the pawn can only move one space eliminating one bishop and one knight on each side for curiosity to play against it.
