alt Hacker NewsFor people interested in making their own, I highly recommend reading through https://github.com/thomasahle/sunfish/blob/master/sunfish.py , a surprisingly readable and surprisingly strong chess engine in 111 lines of Python
https://www.chessprogramming.org/ is also really interesting, see e.g. https://www.chessprogramming.org/Sunfish and https://www.chessprogramming.org/Quiescence_Search

Link I get shows 500 lines and it starts with 50 lines of piece-square tables. Maybe it's obvious when you are into the domain but otherwise... that's pretty much of opposite of what I would call "readable".
