#chessengine

I hacked together a simple #ChessEngine (Alpha Move) in #Python. The "algorithm" has entirely been stolen from #xkcd3045. It uses UCI so you can let it play against other engines in your favorite chess program! Having it play against itself is also an option of course but predictably it results in an infinite loop.

Spent today refining the board representation in my chess engine and fixing some bugs in move generation. Added a new test suite in Zig and updated the build process to run it smoothly. Still a few issues with perft results, but overall making steady progress. On to more debugging tomorrow! strydr.net/articles/devlog-0xB #ChessEngine #ZigLang #programming #chess #zig

www.strydr.netDevlog 0xB - Perft Testing - Continued Movegen Debugging - Strydr SilverbergDevlog 0xB. Today, I made significant progress in enhancing the testing framework for my chess engine. I added a new file, tests.zig, which contains all the necessary tests to validate engine functionality. Additionally, I updated the build.zig file to support running these tests seamlessly. This ensures that any new changes can be automatically tested, streamlining the development process and reducing the likelihood of regressions.

About 10 years ago I wrote an article about how chess engines work.

I figured it would be cool to fresh it up a little bit and translate it to English, so yea, I did just that :)
