-For the first iteration, the goal is to build a UCI interface compatible chess program that makes legal moves and can plan a game end to end. Winning is not a goal.
+# Goal
+
+The primary focus of this iteration is to establish a foundational chess engine capable of generating legal moves and playing a complete game from start to finish, regardless of the quality of those moves. The engine must also implement a basic UCI interface to communicate with a GUI or other chess programs.
+
+# Key Goals
+
+* Move Generation: The engine should be able to generate all legal moves for any given position on the chessboard.
+
+* Game Play: The engine should be capable of playing a full game of chess, making legal moves in response to its opponent's moves until a checkmate, stalemate, or draw occurs.
+
+* UCI Interface: The engine must implement a basic UCI interface, capable of:
+
+  Receiving and understanding essential UCI commands like ucinewgame, position, go, etc.
+  Responding with its chosen move using the bestmove command.
+  Potentially sending basic information like evaluation scores using the info command.
+
+# Non-Goals
+
+* Strength: At this stage, the engine's playing strength is not a priority. The focus is on functionality and UCI compatibility.
+
+* Advanced UCI Features: Complex UCI features like time management, opening books, or endgame tablebases are not required in this iteration.
+
+# Success Criteria
+
+* The engine can successfully play a complete game of chess against a human or another engine via a UCI-compliant interface.
+* All moves made by the engine are legal according to the rules of chess.
+* The engine responds correctly to basic UCI commands and provides its chosen move in the expected format.
+
+# Note
+
+This first iteration is focused on establishing a functional foundation for further development. Subsequent iterations will focus on improving the engine's playing strength, optimizing its performance, and implementing more advanced UCI features.
