A program to generate a chess program. Since chess is such a complex game with many branching paths, it is impossible to write a program for it by hand.

This tool provides a CLI to generate a simple terminal chess program.

pip install chess-program-generator

To generate the runnable chess program:

chess-program-generator [depth] > chess.py

To run the produced chess program

python chess.py

For example:

$ chess-program-generator 6 > chess.py
$ # Several hours later
$ wc -l chess.py
1509877878 chess.py

A pre-compiled program, generated to a depth of 4 ply, can be downloaded from the releases page on GitHub.
