Agreed. The only thing I could think to do would be look for pieces to capture in any given turn, but that would never get it to an end game condition. It's beyond my current capabilities to make a proper computer opponent, but it would be a good exercise.

Not as a general rule. If you're playing as the attacker, you don't always want to take defender pieces even if they're "free" - they're more useful boxing their own king in.
