> I'm having trouble beating a chess program I wrote. Not sure if I'm a bad player or the algorithm is decent

Most beginners will lose to even a chess engine that only looks one step ahead, as it will not drop pieces in obvious ways, but the beginner will.

Chess.js etc. is great btw. Last time I made some chess ai, most of the time was spent generating possible moves. En passant, promotion and stuff adds complexity.
