Work-in-progress UCI compatible chess engine. To play against the engine you will need to use a UCI chess GUI program and point it to the engine binary. I have had good luck with Cute Chess, but there are many other options available.
Install the Rust toolchain following instructions here.
This program uses generators which are only available in nightly Rust:
rustup toolchain install nightly
rustup default nightly
Compile a release binary with
cargo build --release
The binary will be output to ./target/release/chess-engine.
In addition to the UCI interface, the program provides a command to evaluate a single position from a FEN string:
./target/release/chess-engine fen "r3k2r/p1ppqpb1/bn2pnp1/3PN3/1p2P3/2N2Q1p/PPPBBPPP/R3K2R w KQkq - 0 1" 8
The last parameter is the max depth to search.
Run tests with:
cargo test
The program contains a small set of corse-grain benchmarks:
