QuantumMate Chess Engine

Overview

QuantumMate is a powerful chess engine implemented in Python. It leverages the Minimax algorithm enhanced with Alpha-Beta pruning and move ordering to efficiently evaluate chess positions and make optimal moves.

Features

• Minimax Algorithm: Fundamental AI algorithm for decision-making in game theory.
• Alpha-Beta Pruning: Optimization technique to reduce the number of nodes evaluated by the Minimax algorithm.
• Move Ordering: Heuristic to improve the efficiency of Alpha-Beta pruning by sorting moves to be considered in a specific order.
