chess_engine

Introduction

I'm building chess engine in c++. Engine is based on Bitboards and MagicBitboards. It uses alpha-beta pruning and quisance search

Instalation

Windows

On Windows you can just open chess_engine.sln in Visual Studio and compile it.

Linux

1. Clone repository

 git clone https://github.com/pietraldo/chess_engine.git

2. Go to folder

cd chess_engine
cd chess_engine

3. Compile

g++ -O3 -march=native -o kuba_engine prog.cpp Game.cpp Functions.cpp MoveGeneration.cpp UciTranslator.cpp variables.cpp MagicBitboards.cpp GamePrepare.cpp Evaluation.cpp -lm

4. Turn on Engine

./kuba_engine

Usage

I have implemented so far few UCI commends:

Setting position

Starting position

position startpos

Fen position

position fen x

Finding how many are position on some depth

go perft x

Finding best move

go depth x

Roadmap

Here's the plan:

• Figure out the magic numbers
• Get the move generation working
• Test the move generation
• Speed up the move generation
• Create a way to evaluate the game state
• Build a function to find the best move
• Meet the UCI standards for chess engines
• Make Transposible Table
• Make Multithreading
