So I've decided to make my own chess engine on scratch, but I'm having trouble figuring out where to start. I know there are basic rules that need to be implemented into the program and that the board and all the pieces have to be set up right, but making a good chess engine is where the trouble is at.
Of course, you have to make the engine look at every move possible and even think a few moves ahead, then make it do a process of elimination and erase all of the bad moves it could've made, ending up with only one move that it thinks is the best move (if there are multiple best moves, I can add a randomizer script that chooses, or I can make the chess engine think one more move ahead, using just those best moves, to break the tie.).

Here are some things I need to know before starting:

• How many variables are involved?
  

• How can you tell the engine where it is allowed/not allowed to move at?
  

• How does the move value system work?
  

There is a GOK chess engine, I know that. But I'm wanting to make my own. If you can help me with this, it would be an amazing project!

With best regards, MasterTCO.
