Writing an Embedded Chess Engine - Part 5
I have written hundreds of game engines over the years including many more full-featured chess engines (JavaChess, CPlusPlusChess, JavascriptChess to name a few). A few months ago we saw many great chess board projects in the various microcontroller and electronics subs here on reddit but all of them focused on the electronics and construction of the game boards themselves. From the discussions and comments that followed it seemed that many of the authors had the same questions about how to write the code-behind.

Proof of concept for a chessboard for beginners that will show players potential next moves when a piece is picked up
Sweet! Here are 3 chess engines for Java, C++, and Javascript that I wrote that include highlighting colored paths of attack and from where for both sides in realtime as the game is played. Fully configurable, ansi console output!. Totally easy to gut for embedded use. Minimax with alpha-beta pruning algorithm. Configurable out the wazoo including threads, pool size, ply look-ahead, time limits, colors, side names, previous best move caching to speed up parallelism (if used), quiessent searches, en-passant captures, other junk. Definitely keep us posted on your progress as you build yours out!

Does anyone know how I could make code for a chess cheating device? (For my school science fair, won’t use it to actually cheat)
to easily accomplish this. The JavaChess program might be th easiest one to use as a starting point but it all depends on which programming languages you are most comfortable with and whether you prefer to work in Java, C++, or Javascript.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing MicroChess and JavaChess you can also consider the following projects:
Arduino - Arduino library for LiBoard
EubosChess - A Java chess engine. Uses UCI protocol. Playable on lichess.
jchessify - Java chess engine framework.
BlackWidow-Chess - Chess
CPlusPlusChess - Modern C++ Chess. 24-bit ANSI colored, console-based chess using C++17. Optional multi-threaded AI using Minimax with alpha-beta pruning. Fully configurable properties including: ply depth, thread pool size, optional AI time limit, all colors, and more. (Based on my JavaChess repo, Re-written to practice my C++)
JavaScriptChess - JavaScript (ECMAScript) Chess Game Engine with browser based wrapper page
chess - A chess library, chess engine, Lichess client, and UCI implementation written in Java
