This project was created by Christopher Lang for his computer science EPQ. The program displays a chess board and allows the user to input moves as white. The computer will respond with its own moves as black. Based of playing the chess computer on chess.com at various lavels - I have concluded that this chess engine has an elo rating of about 1300-1500 (its about as good as an average club player).
