Simple chess engine with a terminal interface

ChessQDL

Final project of the Data Structures 1 subject. Presented on 12/2019.

ChessQDL is a chess engine that uses a simple heuristic function to evaluate the current state of a given board and the minimax algorithm to choose a move within the tree of possible moves.

The engine was designed to allow for games of Player vs Engine and Player vs Player.
