Chess engine: Willow 2.8

on
 

Willow - UCI engines   Rating CEDR=2790
A chess engine I am currently working on, written in C (WORK IN PROGRESS)
Compiled in Windows, works on BanksiaGUI with limited UCI support right now.

v.2.8:
Estimated ELO: ~2850
Changes from 2.7:
TT in qsearch
a bunch of undefined behavior fixes
SEE and everything associated with it, in move ordering and pruning
a bunch of search tweaks
a retuned evaluation function with threats, blocked passers, and a different dataset it's tuned on
fixed uci parsing and gave it options for hash size (finally!)
LTC test against Willow 2.7: 1000 games, 644 wins 281 draws 75 losses, ELO diff: 204 +- 10

Includes both a Linux and a Windows executable. Alternatively, you can build from source, either by git cloning and running make, or just copying the code file and compiling it with "gcc willow.c -o willow -lm (if on windows omit this flag) -O3 -march=native". The -march-native flag is not required but is recommended.
