Chess engine: DON

DON - UCI chess engine
Author: Ehsan Rashid

DON is a free UCI chess engine. It is not a complete chess program and requires some UCI-compatible GUI (e.g. XBoard with Polyglot, eboard, Arena, Sigma Chess, Shredder, Chess Partner or Fritz) in order to be used comfortably. Read the documentation for GUI of your choice for information about how to use engine with it.

Features
DON uses bitboard representations, and is an alfa-beta searcher.
DON supports up to 512 cores. The engine defaults to one search thread, so it is therefore recommended to inspect the value of the 'Threads' UCI parameter, to make sure it equals the # of CPU cores on your computer.
DON has support for 32/64-bit CPUs, the hardware ABM/BMI instruction, big-endian machines such as Power PC, and other platforms.
DON has support for Polyglot book. For information about how to create such books, consult the Polyglot documentation. The book file can be selected by setting the Book File UCI parameter.
DON has support for Syzygybases.
