Hungarian JavaScript Chess Engine

tomitankChess is Hungarian (pure) JavaScript Chess Engine

• tomitankChess 2.0 is the first full BitBoard JavaScript chess engine on the World!
• Why pure? Because it is No Emscripten (unlike stockfish-js), so the code is readable.
• Pure JavaScript ~5X slower than "C" language, and ~2.5 slower than Emscripten JavaScript.
• The Engine is running in your browser and with UCI GUI (eg: Arena) as well.

Usage:

• tomitankChess (with node.js) run in Arena, in WinBoard and in Cutechess as well.

• Example for Arena GUI with node.js

  • Command line: direct acces to node.exe (C:\Program Files\nodejs\node.exe)
  • Command line parameters: direct acces to tomitankChess.js (C:\Program Files\nodejs\tomitankChessUCI.js)

• Web browser: tomitankChess runing with and without WebWorker as well. (Recommended: WebWorker)

  • Input (standard UCI commands) to the engine is posted as a message to the worker. Example:
  • var tomitankChess = new Worker('tomitankChess.js');
  • tomitankChess.postMessage('ucinewgame');
  • tomitankChess.postMessage('go depth 12');

• JSUCI: https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsuci/

Estimated level (CCRL 40/40):

• 2.0: ~2700 elo (Strongest JavaScript Chess Engine /2018.07.11/)
• 1.5: ~2590 elo (Strongest JavaScript Chess Engine /2017.12.03/)
• 1.4: ~2550 elo (Strongest JavaScript Chess Engine /2017.09.30/)
