The technical write up is worth perusing but I played a game before reading and accidentally found a winning strategy immediately. I'm not sure if this is a result of the 2-ply nature of the engine or if the mentioned deficiencies account for this but the computer did not act to prevent checkmate in 1 (without any intervening check); the game I played was (in algebraic notation): 1. e4 e5 2. kf3 kf6 3. kxe5 kxe4 4. d4 kxf2 5. Kxf2 a5 6. Qf3 b5?? 7. Qxf7 1-0

Yep, the scoring function is just piece value difference, so it can only detect checkmate in 0 (i.e., when king capture is available).

Nitpick: In chess usually "N" is used to mean "knight", because "K" is already taken by "King".

Hey! I had a very similar game
