First try to get a handle on the search methods: Alpha-Beta, PVS etc.  Once
you got this, the classic article you want to read is "Chess 4.5: The North
Western University chess program".  You can find this article in "computer 
Chess compendium" by David Levy.  It can also be found in "Chess skill in man
and machine".

Have fun....you are beginning on a year/2-year development process!
