"I Made a Chess Engine" Video Summary
The creator of the video attempts to make a chess engine, aiming to create an intelligent AI that can beat them. They start by creating a customizable chess board using a square prefab and two for loops, allowing for easy management of different color combinations.
The creator then adds chess pieces, using files from the official chess Wikipedia page, and represents them in code using a chess prefab with its own script. To set up the board, they utilize a Fen string, which tells the computer exactly where every piece is, making it easier to test different layouts.
