No, I'm less than a newbie at chess programming. I've had one college class in C/C++ and one college class in Java (with Swing). I've done a little of this and a little of that. I want to improve my skills so I decided to take on Chess (since it's been my hobby since childhood) as a programming challenge. So I downloaded the source code for a few different chess engines and have become very lost. Where is the best place to begin? Should I start by studying the custom header files? Do any of the free source chess engines out there come with flowchart(s) to facilitate its reading? Which chess engine is easiest for the newbie to learn with while still being worth while learning? Thank you.
