This project is a collection of chess problems and algorithms in java, used in an undergraduate software engineering course. Its purpose was to illustrate basic OOP concepts (encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism) using problems both easy to explain and translate into a computer program.

The problems included so far are Eight Queens amd Knight's Tour. The only algorithm implemented during the original lecture was backtracking. My plan is to extend this project so it can be used as a playground for modern optimisation techniques and perhaps advanced heuristics.

Also because I like chess puzzles.

All the works on this project are dedicated to the public domain, specifically under CC0 1.0 Universal.
