Bad bots not allowed?

Thanks for trying it out! It is not doing random only anymore, we implemented some very basic board evaluation functions and look ahead 1 move, detect mate in 1, escape from mate in 1 if possible, ... It is really my son giving his ideas and coding, with me just helping.

Sadly it seems it will not get unbanned, so its rating is frozen. Too bad :( Anyway we are still having fun trying to improve it!

@Darsh_Shah_07 If you know C you can pick up python pretty easily. This is also what jerhat and his son use. They linked their github at the bot I think.

Part of programming is, to be able to figure out problems.

#15. I suggest you open a free account on github. and use their intro classes there. or fork that user repository (so that you can play around without anything happening to the original repository). or do a combination of dictionary first learning, and reverse learning from working example.

GitHub is about text files primarily, holding code. It is mostly about collaborating, although you can use it to play around. and use its collaborating features to help your own thinking. collaborating with yourself. i guess.

I don't know much more. still learning. myself, have given up for a while, might go back to it. (actually do use it for collaborating as an extension of other discussion tools, when code are used as examples).

But really, the tutoring bots will get you started to the basic flows involved.

I would add https://www.chessprogramming.org to the list of useful resources to get you started. Good luck!
