Chess engine: Cadabra 2.0.0

 

Cadabra - UCI engine, author: Joachim Enggaard Nebel

Cadabra is a chess engine writen entirely in rust, and is the successor to my first engine [JENCE](https://github.com/PQNebel/JENChessEngine).

If you are lucky, Cadabra is online on [Lichess](https://lichess.org/@/CadabraBot).

Cadabra is listed on CCRL with the following rating: 1442

Usage

The engine is designed to be used with a UCI compliant GUI. This program does not provide one. GUIs I have used for testing are Arena, CuteChess and Lucas Chess, but many others are available.

Precompiled binaries are provided under [releases](https://github.com/JENebel/Cadabra/releases). The BMI2 versions are prefferable, but may not be supported on older machines.

These options are available through the GUI used, or can be manually changed if run in CLI.
  - Hash table size
  - Sets the hash table size to the desired amount of MBs
  - Default is 16 MB
  - "setoption name Hash value 128"
  - Thread count
  - Sets the amount of threads to the desired count
  - Default is 1
  - "setoption name Threads value 4"
  - Clear hash
  - Simply clears the internal hash table
  - "setoption name Clear Hash"
