Blazing fast UCI chess engine

Philosophy

Main goal is to be fastest chess engine in the world.

Fastest as in "nodes per second".

Some development rules that I follow to archive this:

• Corectness is first priority, performance is second, playing strength is third
• All code should be benchmarked and polished
• If there are multiple ways of doing something they both should be benchmarked

Usage

This engine is on pretty early stage, do not use it yet.

This engine eventually will support UCI protocol. You can read about it here in wiki and use any chess GUI interface for play with this engine.

If you just want to play with this engine, you can challenge it here on lichess.
