I'm starting to think about putting two of my interests together: chess and coding. Does anyone has some good reference on how to start getting into it? I'm looking in particular for good theoretical references. Thank you 😃

Check the internet

@theredcameron research of any kind of knowledge cannot be limited to the internet. I wish more people asked to experts directly or to people who did the same thing that you want to do, instead of relying on the internet. Otherwise you end up believing that homeopathy can cure cancer, that your social awkwardness is really autism caused by vaccines and that the Earth is shaped like a saddle.

Asking among peers for an advice is never a waste of time, and you don't even have to answer if you find it uninteresting. Just my 2 cents.

No no. I mean look on the internet for research on computer science concepts regarding chess. Also, if you want to ask experts, how do you find out what they've written? In most cases today, the internet, since many experts may live in a different city or country than you do. When I say the internet, I also mean posting or published papers written by experts. Unless of course you want to spend a lot of money on plane tickets to visit all of those experts in person.

Also, you're asking your peers at this moment by posting here. Ensuring that you keep the context of your question in mind, the internet is the best tool you can use.
