Talk:Chess player

Task size

This draft task, while fairly well defined, feels daunting. Is it possible to at least split it into pieces (e.g., framework to allow two players to play chess, and a robot implementation of a player)? –Donal Fellows 10:55, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

My intention for this task was only the second part. A special chess front end is not necessary, just the input and output of moves (it is just an add-on that the PicoLisp solution outputs a simple ASCII board display). --Abu 12:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

I didn't know that single-word names should be avoided. Then perhaps a better name would have been "Chess engine"? This is how it seems to be usually called. --Abu 12:20, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
