Bhess Engine : Bitboard Chess Engine

This is a simple chess engine implemented in Rust, utilizing bitboards for efficient move generation and board representation.

Features

  • Bitboard Representation: Efficient board representation using bitboards for pieces.
  • Move Generation: Generate legal moves for a given position.
  • FEN Parsing: Parse the FEN string for string to board representation. [TODO]
  • Quiescence search: Implement the Quiescence search algorithm for efficient search with iterative deepning [TODO]
  • UCI Support: Follows the Universal Chess Interface (UCI) standard for communication with GUIs. [TODO]

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Rust installed on your machine.

Building and Running

  1. Clone the repository:

    git clone https://github.com/Unic-X/Bhess-Engine.git
cd Bhess-Engine

  2. Build and run the chess engine:

    cargo build --release   
cargo run

Usage

Run the executable generated by the build. Use a UCI-compatible chess GUI (e.g., Arena) to communicate with the engine.
