Welcome to ChessEngine’s documentation!

This a chess engine written in C++ and is for educational purposes only. I sincerely doubt I will be able to make this a strong engine, but I intend to make it strong enough to beat beginners and hopefully me eventually.

Board Representation

The board is represented in using a series of bitboards. Attacks will be represented using a bitboard and maybe a list, I’m not sure yet.

Engine Function

It may be a while before I get around to writing the engine, as I will need the board representation to be complete.

GUI Connection Methods

These are planned for the future, and will allow the engine to be connected to any popular GUI that implements the UCI protocol.
