Dev-Zero: A Chess Engine

Dev-Zero is a fully functional chess engine that is used to play through various standards such as with human, self-play and also with some Universal Chess Interface (UCI) compatible chess engines. The distinguishable characteristic is that it is designed to be universally accessible, and can be concurrently played by people with different abilities and intelligence.Minimax algorithm along with alpha-beta pruning is used simultaneously with chess books to select the next move. Based on parameters like King safety, mobility of each piece, structure and centre control, the board is evaluated using a heuristic function that checks for checkmate as well as stalemate conditions using values from initialised piece square tables and calculated material score.Developers can create fascinating Graphical User Interface (GUI) and use the proposed algorithm in developing their chess games.
