I used my chess experience to find small things that influenced how good a position was evaluated. One thing I found through testing was that the chess bots would often move their pieces in front of pawns, stopping them from moving. I came up with the solution to prioritize pawns on higher ranks. This solved the previous problem but also presented more opportunities for pawns to take minor pieces and more space to maneuver.

Performed preliminary research on different types of ML models. Additionally, helped with improving code performance. Came up with the idea to restrict looking into certain lines to reduce response time.
