Wukong JS is a didactic open source chess engine inteded to serve the purpose of helping people
to kick start with their own chess engines from scratch. I've considered to pick up javascript as
a weapon of choice programming language because one can start playing around with this boiler plate
source code just right in the web browser without getting bothered by installing any environment,
however it also works as a console application running via nodejs in UCI mode to play with other engines.
My name is Maksim Korzh aka Code Monkey King. I'm doing chess programming as a hobby since 2018.
It was incredibly difficult for me to write my very first chess engine because of the fact that available
resources seemed to be a complete rocket science to me. Every next successful attempt to master
a new aspect of chess programming brought me lots of joy and happiness, so eventually I've decided
to create chess programming YouTube channel to share my passion with others. A fun fact that
after that me and my engines were added to chess programming wikipedia.
