With the best of my abilities, I tried to give them some sort of personality that is reflected in their style of play. To understand how to create a "personality" in a program, it is helpful to understand the most common algorithms used in chess.

For the latter, there is a pretty standard and efficient algorithm that searches for the best piece to move called the minimax. Thus I won't be altering the search algorithm much. I will, however, alter the risk as
