🚧 This project is currently a work in progress. Expect incomplete features and active development.
A Rust implementation of the Toyfish chess engine — a minimal, educational chess engine designed for simplicity and clarity. This project aims to bring Toyfish to Rust with a clean architecture and modern Rust best practices.
Toyfish is a small chess engine originally written in Python. This Rust port is primarily for educational purposes, ideal for learning how chess engines work under the hood: move generation, evaluation, and search.
This project is not meant to be competitive with modern engines like Stockfish, but it will help you understand the building blocks of a functioning chess engine.
