I would take up a challenge to script an AI for chess to play someone else''s AI script. Kinda like that robot-wars show on tv, but with AI algorithms. any takers?

Implement the Winboard protocol and you can just write a text based program that can play in many GUIs, and your program will be able to play against other programs that are either on your computer (there are over 200 freely available programs that support the Winboard protocol that you can play with) or you can have your program play online against other computers and people. There are also quite a few programs that come with the source code that are easy to read and understand.

As for the neural nets, don''t bother messing with that until you''ve at least written a working program and experimented with some of the "classic brute force" ideas.
