Chess engine: Minimalchess 0.5 (Windows, Mac, Android and Linux)


MinimalChess as an engine to an UCI compatible Chess GUI. Author: Lithander

Version 0.5
Version 0.5 adds a 13th tuned table for a mobility-based evaluation term, null-move pruning and a simple transposition table.
For this release I also changed the target framework to .NET 5.
With these changes MinimalChess gains about 350 ELO in playing strength over the previous version. The size of the codebase measured in lines of executable code (LOC) increased moderately from 610 LOC to 707 LOC. So this versions not only features the best playing strength it also has the best strength/LOC ratio.
