A chess engine with complete logics, GUI and AI

I needed to learn C#, so I set out to create a chess engine with a simple AI. I thought it would be a fun project to learn the language while also learning about minimax algorithm, more about chess programming and testing. Especially since I had already done a chess game in the past I was excited for the opportunity to do it better.

Current features are:

• Complete chess logics
• Perft testing with automatic result compare with a well known engine, Stockfish
• Load boards with FEN
• Stupid AI (random legal moves)
• AI with minimax algorithm

Features to be maybe added in the future:

• Minimax algorithm with alpha-beta pruning
• Evaluation of board states with more finesse than calculating piece value
• Optimization of legal move search
