UC-189 ChessAI

Chess is a widely acclaimed two-player strategy game, where the primary objective is to checkmate the opponent's king, placing it in a position of imminent threat from which it cannot escape. Our aim was to innovate within this classic framework by developing a novel chess game that adheres to the traditional rules while enhancing accessibility for players of all skill levels. This game features a selection of AI models, each offering unique decision-making processes that create diverse gameplay experiences based on the chosen model. The AI operates by simulating every possible move on the board, meticulously evaluating each resulting position. After assessing all potential moves, it selects the optimal one based on a sophisticated or simpler algorithm/pipeline depending on the selected AI model, tailored to counter the player’s strategy. In addition to the AI-driven gameplay, we also offer a local player-versus-player mode and an online player-vs-player mode, enabling two players to compete against each other on the same computer. The ability to select and play against different AI models ensures that both casual players and serious strategists can enjoy the game in a way that suits their preferences based on their skill level.
