Sharing my idea

Welcome to my blog on building a Chess Computer.  I hope to add information on building a Raspberry Pi powered chess computer.

The inspiration for this project came from wanting to play more chess but on a larger board.  I currently own a chess computer from the 1900's but the board is a little small and it's functionality limited.
I looked around for other chess computers, most larger sets are not in my budget!  So a quick Google reviled that using a Raspberry Pi to play chess is possible, yes someone has already done it before!

I found the following website to be very helpful, so I would suggest start with a quick look at it and it's links page.
