How Chess Computers Work
This site illustrates how a computer program plays chess and diagrams how it calculates all possible moves using a formula called the minimax algorithm and a technique called alpha beta pruning. Information is also available on "Man vs. Machine" contests, IBM's Deep Blue, Deep Junior, international chess champion Garry Kasparov, and more.
