A simple 2 player chess AI that implemented minimax & alpha-beta pruning & move-ordering & pawn structure analysis to fully optimise the AI with a proper FEN file format

I screwed up my previous chess game with bad design and without planning ahead

I decided to make a chess game because my pc do not have one

NOTE: Credit to Christos-Kouros for timer function
