Midnight - UCI Engines

Author: Archishmaan Peyyety  Rating CEDR=2482

File structure

• ChessEngine contains the C++ chess engine. It produces moves in uci format.
• ChessEngine/ChessEngine_lib contains the core library including move search and evaluation.
• ChessEngine/ChessEngine_tests contains the unit tests to verify that function in the lib work as expected. 
• uci-gui contains a python module that produces a chess gui that a human can play with and interfaces with the chess engine built. Hosted on localhost and built using flask. Most of this is code I took from [here](https://github.com/maksimKorzh/uci-gui). I take no credit for it, just something so that I can play against my engine!
