# Chess Engine
## Overview
This is a Python-based chess engine that allows users to play chess against the computer. The engine is capable of generating moves for the AI player using a combination of search algorithms, evaluation functions, and game-specific heuristics.
## Features
- Play chess against the computer AI.
- Implement various chess strategies, including opening book, midgame tactics, and endgame knowledge.
- Visualize the chess board and current game state using ASCII representation.
- Implement different search algorithms for move generation, such as minimax with alpha-beta pruning.
## Installation

`git clone https://github.com/theinit01/AI-ChessEngine.git`
2. Navigate to the project directory:
`cd AI-ChessEngine`
3. Install the required dependencies
`pip install -r requirements.txt`
4. Run the main script to start the game:
