The author associates to each diagram \(D\) of a link \(L\) in three-space a chain complex \(C(D)\) of graded \(Z[c]\)-modules, where \(c\) is an indeterminate of degree 2. The graded cohomology of \(C(D)\) is a link type invariant of \(L\) whose graded Euler characteristic determines the Kauffman bracket, and hence the Jones polynomial, of \(L\).
