Just MiniMAX Didactic Chess Program

Just MiniMAX is a Just BASIC conversion of MiniMAX 1.0, a didactics chess program originally written for MS QBASIC 4.5 in 1995 and kindly open sourced by Dieter Steinwender and Chrilly Donninger. Just MiniMAX is a MainWindow/DOS Style/Text Mode "for education" chess engine that boasts full rules enforcement, Castling, EnPassant, the ability to input Chess Problems, well documented source, and contains the entire Board/Piece package represented in a simple one-dimentional array.

I've included the original source code with the Just MiniMAX download (so that one may compare the differences) as well as log-making versions I made when debugging (if one would like to confirm the accuracy of the conversion).

The Just MiniMAX engine is a direct conversion; an exact copy and duplicate in every form, shape, way and manner. Please credit D. Steinwender and Ch. Donninger for anything this program may have to offer.
