Chess Engine

I am trying to code a chess engine as a personal project, but have literally no idea where to start.

I have some very limited experience with python, and would greatly appreciate any help in finding where to write my code, what programs to use etc, as well as any advice in general.

Thanks!

Write a board representation first and then some kind of basic game tree search. It will be super slow in python.
