I wrote this program during my first year at RPI. The initial motivation was to have something that I could play with when I had a few minutes to spare during comp. sci. labs. This program sparked my interest in computer game theory and eventually led to my senior thesis work on a learning chess program. As with many of the games I have written, the UI takes a back seat to the actual functionality. This program should end up with a draw in most (if not all) situations and will beat you if you aren't paying attention.
