Does anyone know where I can read up on this?

Hi,

I think that such work is not available yet, however, it is fully possible to create:

a) Current chess AI calculates value for all possible moves;
b) The chess man counts value for possible combinations of figures (parallel links).

I wish you good luck.

I wish you good luck.
