I learned a lot through this project, and I definitely appreciate the depth of complexity involved in making a good chess algorithm.</p> <h2> Link to Code </h2> <p>'<a href="https://github.com/andrewDoing/chess_ai">https://github.com/andrewDoing/chess_ai</a>'</p> <h2> How I built it (what's the stack? did I run into issues or discover something new along the way?) </h2> <p>Python. Allows for ease of development, but can encounter performance issues. I found ways to improve performance along the way, such as <strong>slots</strong>.</p> <h2> Additional Thoughts / Feelings / Stories </h2> <p>AI was probably my favorite course I took in my degree program. I learned a lot and have a project to show for it!</p> <h1> octograd2020 #devgrad2020 </h1> devgrad2020
