Tom Kerrigan’s Simple Chess Program (TSCP) is a small, open-source chess engine that I made in 1997. It’s a tutorial engine, i.e., it’s designed to teach people how chess engines work.
TSCP has the following features: Only 2,258 lines of C code Lots of comments! Written for clarity (not speed or strength) Observes all rules of chess Opening book xboard compatible Requires less than 64KB of RAM
