I'd love to see what "translating" Stockfish's algorithms (ex: backwards pawn check. Bishop moves check. Paired Bishop advantage check. Etc. etc.)

Do you know if all these checks are documented somewhere (other than the source code)?

The "beginner chess engine" for the wiki is here: https://www.chessprogramming.org/CPW-Engine (focusing on readability instead of optimizations)

For the heuristics of stockfish themselves, see https://hxim.github.io/Stockfish-Evaluation-Guide/
